Change your profile, email or password

Updated

In this guide

Open your own profile to update your name and username. Changing your email requires verification; submitting the request alone does not change the address you use to sign in.

Update your profile

  1. Sign in to the account you want to change. On the website, open your profile; in the app, use Edit profile in the menu.
  2. In the profile information card, edit the name or username fields you need.
  3. Choose Save and check the saved values. A username must meet the rules shown in the form and be available.
  4. If you changed your username, copy a fresh profile link before sharing it. Do not assume an old profile URL redirects forever.

Profile photos and cover images have their own editing controls. Changing a profile does not transfer ownership of lists to another account.

Change your email address

  1. Open the email change control beside your current email in the profile information card.
  2. Enter the new address carefully and choose Send verification.
  3. Check that inbox and spam for the verification email. Until verification is complete, keep using your current sign-in details.
  4. Follow the verification page, including its password step, and finish the change.
  5. When signed out after completion, sign in with the new email and check My Lists.

If the email does not arrive or its link expires, return to your profile and follow the available retry instructions. Never forward the verification link to support or another person. A request for an address already in use may need support to investigate; creating another account does not merge your lists.

Reset a password or use Google or Apple

For an email/password account, use Forgot password? on the login page and follow the reset email. If you originally used Google or Apple, use the same provider and account. Do not assume a password reset changes your Google/Apple credentials or connects separate accounts.
