How to Change a Genshin Impact Email Address and Password.
The wildly popular miHoYo/Hoyoverse title Genshin Impact has attracted millions of players, but there are times when you need to change an email account or password. Fortunately, Genshin Impact allows players to switch these two credentials, allowing users to maintain access to their accounts at all times.
If you’re not sure how to make an email or password change, you’re in luck. Read on to find out what the steps are.
How to Change Genshin Impact Email or Password on PC
There are two main ways to change the email address and password linked to your Genshin Impact account when you’re on PC. They also work on mobile devices, but more on that later. You must have a working Hoyoverse account that you can log into before proceeding.
There are several reasons why someone might want to change their current Genshin Impact email address to another.
- They lost access to the email address.
- They used the wrong email address.
- They want to create a new account to go back to using the old email address.
No matter the reason, Hoyoverse makes it incredibly easy to switch it up. We’ll start with the standard first.
Go to the official Genshin Impact.
Login to your account.
Click on “Account” to get to the settings menu.
Enter again.
Go to “Account Information”.
Select “Account Security Settings”.
Make sure you choose the correct email address because you will be changing it here.
Click “Modify Link” to change your email.
Send a validation code to the current address.
Paste and send the code after receiving it.
After verification, enter your new email address.
Send another code to the new address.
Submit it and complete the process.
Sign in to your Genshin Impact account using the new email address to test.
An alternative method is to access the relevant sections within Genshin Impact.
When you are in Genshin Impact, open the Paimon menu.
Go to settings.
Go to “Account”.
Select “Click to continue” to the right of “User Center” in the main panel.
Press “Modify link”.
Send the current email address a validation code.
Copy and paste it before selecting “Next”.
Enter the new email address you want to link.
Send him a verification code too.
Enter the code and finish.
The second method is arguably easier since you don’t have to navigate many menus. However, both ways are effective and you can easily use both on separate occasions.
changing your password
If you forgot your password or just want to improve account security, Hoyoverse will help you. The process on PC is also relatively simple.
The steps for exchanging email addresses are slightly different from changing your password.
Go to the official Genshin Impact.
Click “Login”.
Select “I forgot my password”.
First verify your email address.
Click Next”.
On the Security Verification page, send yourself a verification code.
Paste the verification code in the field and submit.
Create a new password for your Genshin Impact account.
Re-enter and confirm the new password.
Test if you can log in with the new password.
The second method would be to use the User Center within Genshin Impact. This method is best if you automatically log into the game but forget your password and want to reset it.
In Genshin Impact for PC, open the Paimon Menu by pressing Esc.
Choose the “Settings” option.
Go to “Account”.
Click on User Center.
Choose the option to change your password.
Verify your email address by pasting the code.
Enter the new password in the field.
Confirm the new password in the text box below the first field.
Once the process is complete, you can log in with the new password.
Because only one login can be active at any time, changing your password increases the security of your account against potential hackers.
