Overview

This document shows you how to modify the email address bound to your account.

Prerequisites

Before starting, please make sure you understand the following concepts:

• Contact email: The email address that receives messages from Tencent Cloud, including notifications about overdue payments, resource expiration, and events.
• Verification email: The email address used for identity verification.
• Login email: If you didn’t use an email address to sign up for Tencent Cloud, you can add a login email, which you can use to log in to Tencent Cloud.

To protect your account and avoid potential losses caused by missed messages, we recommend you keep your verification email/mobile number consistent with your contact email/mobile number.
