Server Version#:latest
I need to change the admin account I am using in Plex (plex pass) to a different email address.
Not really sure what the steps are. Do I just change this inside of the PMS user interface? Do I do this from the website?
Concerns:
I have about 10 home users. I suspect they will have to re register. what happens to their history?
What happens to my history? I wont be able to use the old account any more.
Anything to watch out for?
If you want to change the email on your account, change in on your account page. https://app.plex.tv/desktop#!/settings/account
I’m not really understanding why you think you need to change to a completely different account just to change the email.
SO I am probably confused…
When I sign onto PMS (not often because once I am sighed in, it stays that way) I used my email account for that. If I make the change in Plex, would I then just use the new email account?
Same goes for Plex Forums… Would I use the new email to sign in there?
And what about PlexPass… will that move with the email change?
You can use your username jwaltrip4 or email in the login field. An account is not defined by the email it has. You can change the account’s email and nothing crazy will happen.
Log in the way you normally do now with the username or the email that is currently on the account. If you are already logged in then stay that way. Then go to your account settings and change the email to whatever you want ( assuming some other account doesn’t already have that email.)
After you change the email then yes you will need to sign into that same account with the new email ( or use your username) the next time you sign in. Nothing with change with the account’s Plex Pass or shared users

Put in a new email. enter the current password and click Save Changes
Thanks kindly for the response …
Does any of this affect my plex home users?
No. It will not effect any account you share with
Thanks. Worked perfectly.
