Change the email on your account

Move your Hailo login to a new address. Both the old and the new inbox have to approve the change.

Your login email is the address you sign in with and the one two-factor codes and reset links go to. Changing it takes an approval from both the current inbox and the new one, so a stolen password alone cannot move your login.

Note

This is your login address, not the studio address couples see on proposals and invoices. That one is under Settings > Your studio > Your details. See Your details.

Change your login email

  1. Open Settings > Account and find Email address under Signing in. It reads "Signed in as {your email}. Changing it takes an approval from both the current and the new inbox."
  2. Press Change email. A field appears with the placeholder new@address.com.
  3. Type the new address and press Send confirmations. (Cancel hides the field again.)
  4. You see "Confirmation links sent to {old address} and {new address}. Approve from both inboxes to complete the change, then sign in with the new address."
  5. Open the email in the old inbox and approve. Open the email in the new inbox and approve.
  6. Log out and sign in with the new address. Your password is unchanged.

Until both approvals are done, your login stays on the old address. Requests are limited to three a minute.

After the change

  • Two-factor codes, reset links and Hailo's notification emails go to the new address.
  • Your workspace, plan and everything in it are untouched.
  • On a Mac with Touch ID set up, log in once with the new address and your password so the remembered login is updated.

If it didn't work

Message What to do
