Need to change my account email details

Hi, I need to change my email on my account. When i tried to use my second email account it told me that account is already in use?
Im assuming I have an old plex account registered to martinscully@hotmail.com

can this account be removed/deleted from that email so i can change my existing plex server and its current email over to martinscully@hotmail.com?

You will have to find the login data for that old account.
Log in, then delete it.
Wait 1 month.
Then you can use the email again with your current account.

reason im asking is i am leaving my isp, and the currnet email used for my plex is this email for this isp. Im assuming i lose the email now im leaving them, so will that mean i cannot use that email still to log into my plex server?

Strictly speaking, you only need to use the email if you want Plex to send you email. Like a “forgotten password” email, for instance.

But of course it’s a good idea to change the associated email address on your account, if you are about to lose the ability to receive email on that account.

ok thats fine, i wont forget the password :rofl: :+1:

You still want to change the email address to a valid account. Otherwise someone else with that provider (who happened to recreate your email address for himself) could request a “forgotten password” email and take over your account, including your Plex Pass.

And an email warning you of a change won’t reach you, because you won’t be receiving any emails…

good point. ok i will have to try and figure out my old plex details on my second email
thanks for the help :slight_smile:
