How to Change the Email on a Genshin Impact Account (Buyer Guide)

Changing the email is the first thing you should do after buying a Genshin Impact account. Here is how to do it safely.

Why Email Change Matters

The registered email is the key to account recovery. Until you control it, the previous owner can reclaim the account at any time. Changing the email is your primary protection.

Before You Change the Email

  • Receive the full credentials and the email inbox access from the seller
  • Take screenshots of the account state and purchase receipt
  • Verify the warranty period starts once you confirm ownership

Steps to Change the Email

  1. Log in and navigate to Account → User Center
  2. Select the email change option and request a verification code
  3. Enter your own email address and complete verification
  4. Change the password and enable two-factor authentication
  5. Unlink any third-party accounts you do not recognize

If the Seller Won't Provide Email Access

A reputable seller always transfers email access with the account. If a listing does not include email change capability, treat it as a major red flag and avoid the purchase.
