# Change your email address on your account

The contact information on file for your account is used to notify and bill you. Keep this information current to prevent service interruptions. It's especially important to keep your email address current.

The **Billing** and Identity and Access **User Details** pages both have email address fields. The email addresses saved on these pages receive different notifications, as described in the following sections. If you are the only user, you should enter your email address on both pages. If there are multiple users, verify that the primary account holder's email address is current on the **Billing** page.

# Modify billing contact email

See [Update Billing Contact Information](https://techdocs.akamai.com/cloud-computing/docs/update-billing-contact-information).

# Modify user account email

Use the **User Details** page to modify the email address associated with a user account. The email addresses listed on this page receive password reset messages and support tickets for services that their associated users have permission to access. Users with limited account access can also receive invoices and receipts if granted access to that information.

2. In the main navigation, select **Administration** > **Identity & Access**.

3. Select the user for which you want to update the email address.
