# Multiple emails

> Add another email to your account and move your account to it before an address is taken away.

> [!NOTE]
>
> This feature is developed by [ayaka-notes/ayakaleaf-pro](https://github.com/ayaka-notes/ayakaleaf-pro) and is available from v6.4.0.

An account can have more than one email. Add one when an address will be taken away, such as a university's after you graduate, so that you keep your account and your projects.

The list of emails appears when your instance can send email. Otherwise the settings page has a single email field.

**1. Open your emails**

Click **Account**, then **Account settings**. Your emails are under **Emails and affiliations**.

Your emails

**2. Add the new email**

Click **Add another email**, type the address and click **Add new email**.

Adding an email

**3. Enter the code**

A 6-digit code is sent to the new address. Enter it and click **Confirm**. If nothing arrives, click **Resend confirmation code**.

Confirming the new email

The email is now in your list, and your primary email gets a message that it was added.

**4. Make it your primary email**

Click **Make primary** next to the new email, then **Change primary email**.

Confirming the change

From now on, log in with the new email. The old one stays in the list.

The new primary email

## What each email can do

* Only the primary email logs in and gets password resets. A secondary email does neither, so an address that is later given to someone else cannot take over your account.
* Press **Make primary** before the old mailbox closes. Afterwards only an administrator can change your email.
* An old primary email that you confirmed stays as a secondary email. One that was never confirmed is removed when another email becomes primary.
* To remove a secondary email, click its trash icon. Another account can then add that address.
* An address that belongs to another account cannot be added.
* On an instance with LDAP or SAML login you can add emails, but **Make primary** is refused, because you could no longer log in with the new email.
