How To Change Your OpenAI Email Address

August 22, 2023

OpenAI and lots of other sites say that you can’t change the email address associated with your account, but you can and here are the steps to do it.

WARNING: We’re going to remove your existing OpenAI member, and any API Keys associated with them.

  1. Add a new Member to your account with the new email address you want to use. Set it to be Owner.
  2. Accept the invite, and create an account using the same phone number you used previously (yes this worked for me)
  3. After the new Member account is setup, login as that user. If you are using an API Key, generate a new one now and switch your apps over to it.
  4. Remove the member associated with the old email address you no longer want on your OpenAI account. (this will also remove any API Keys generated by that member)
  5. That’s it, you’re done. The OpenAI account now only has 1 member and that member has the new email address.
