Go to Account & Lists
You can click Account & Lists or move your cursor in this area (just below your name) and click Account.
Click Login and Security
For security purposes, Amazon may ask you to re-enter your password and send a security code to your email address. Just check your email for the code and follow the prompts.
Besides your email address, you can also change other personal details in the Login and Security section. You can change your display name and primary mobile number. You can also set up your passkey or enable 2-step verification to add an extra layer of security to your Amazon account.
To proceed with the email change, proceed to the next step.
Tap Edit
Enter Your New Email Address
Type in your new email address and click Continue. Don't forget to save the changes. Then, follow the on-screen prompts to successfully change the email address associated with your Amazon account.
You may be asked to enter a one-time password sent to your email address. Just enter the password on the Amazon page. To confirm the email address change, Amazon will also send a verification email to the registered email. You must click on the link before it expires. If you can't find the verification email, check your spam or junk folder. You may also receive a final confirmation email regarding the change of email address.
After a successful email change, you will still have access to the past orders associated with the previous email. You also still have access to your subscriptions and other Amazon content.
Conclusion
All future notifications from Amazon, including shipping updates and order confirmations, will go directly to the new email address. All other details on your account also remain unaffected even after the email change. Also, note that if you have the 2-step verification enabled on your Amazon account, you might need to enter a security code to complete the email change process.
