Can I log in to my PayPal account if I have a new email address?

If you’re using a new email address, you can still log in to your PayPal account. You need to log in to your account using your old email address. Then add your new email address, confirm it, and remove the old one.

Here's how to add, remove or update an email address:

  1. Go to your Settings.
  2. In the "Emails" section, you can add, edit or remove:
  • To add a new email address, click +Add. Enter the email address and click Confirm. We'll automatically send you an email to confirm it. 
  • To update an email address, click Edit next to the address you want to change. 
  • To remove an email address, click the three dots next to the email address you want to remove, then select Delete.

Here's how to add, remove or update an email address in the PayPal App:

  1. Tap your profile icon.
  2. Tap Account information.
  3. Tap See All next to "Emails". 
  • To add a new email, tap Add a New Email.
  • To update an email, tap the email, then tap Edit.
  • To remove an email, tap the email, then tap Remove.

Tips:

  • To receive money with a newly added email address, you need to confirm the email address first.
  • To remove your primary email address, first add a new email address and set it as primary, and then remove the  old one.
