Unable to change email address – verification code not received

Deisy Amelsbeek November 13, 2025

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to update the email address on my Atlassian account. My current account is still linked to an old email address which is no longer in use.

 I’ve attempted multiple times to change it to my new email address, but I never receive the verification code that is required to confirm the update: no matter how many times I request it.

Does anyone know how I can resolve this issue or how to proceed when the old email address is no longer accessible?

Thanks in advance!

The verification code always goes to the original email to ensure that the account is not hijacked

Why can't you change my email address?

For security reasons, we cannot change the email address associated with your account. If we were allowed to change your email address, this would expose your account to "social hacking." Social hacking is when someone pretending to be you sends us an email asking us to change the email address associated with your account, thus giving the hacker control of your account.
