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
- 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."
- Press Change email. A field appears with the placeholder
new@address.com. - Type the new address and press Send confirmations. (Cancel hides the field again.)
- 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."
- Open the email in the old inbox and approve. Open the email in the new inbox and approve.
- 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 |
|---|---|
| "Enter a valid email address." | The address is empty or not shaped like an email. |
| "That's already the email on this account." | You typed your current address. |
| "Email changes aren't available in this environment." | This Mac is running without a link to your cloud account. Log out and back in with your email and password, then try again. |
| Only one confirmation arrived | Check spam in the other inbox. Both links must be used. If one has expired, press Change email and send the confirmations again. |
| You approved both and still cannot log in with the new address | Log out fully, then log in with the new address. If the login screen still refuses, reset your password from Forgot? using the new address. |
