# Change your username or account email

Source: https://help.contextli.com/articles/change-your-email-or-username

Change your username in **Settings** > **Account** > **Username** > **Change**. Your account email cannot be changed in the app: email support@contextli.com and we will change it for you.

## Change your username

1. Open **Settings** and go to the **Account** tab.
2. Next to **Username**, click **Change**.
3. Type your new username.
4. Click **Save**.

Username rules:

- 3 to 30 characters.
- Lowercase letters, numbers, hyphens (-) and underscores (_) only.

If the name is taken or does not follow the rules, you see a message under the field. Try another one.

## Change your account email

The **Email** field in **Settings** > **Account** is read-only.

1. Email support@contextli.com from your current account email.
2. Tell us the new email address you want to use.

Once it is changed, sign in on every device with the new email. Sign-in is passwordless: you get a 6-digit code at that address, or you can use **Continue with Google** if it is a Google account.

## Good to know

- Your plan, credits and notes stay with your account when the email changes.
- If you bought a subscription in the iPhone app, it stays with your Apple ID. See [Manage or cancel a subscription bought in the App Store](/articles/manage-an-app-store-subscription).
- Signing in with a different email creates a separate account instead of changing yours.
