Technical support

Issue: I received an error message when trying to change my email.

Solution: This likely means there's already an account associated with the new email address you entered. We cannot merge accounts, so you'd need to close the account tied to the address you entered before completing the change email process.

Issue: I no longer have access to the email associated with my Indeed account.

Solution: Click or tap Don't have access to this email to update your email. We'll send a verification code to the phone number in your account settings. Then, you can change your email address.

Issue: I can't find the Change email button in my account settings
