To update the email address connected to your Prolific account:
- Navigate to your 'My account' page via the menu in the top right corner
- Locate your 'Email' and click ‘Edit’
- Once the form has popped up, enter the new email address you’re wanting to attach to your Prolific account
- Enter your current Prolific password and click ‘Update email’ to initiate the process
- Now check the inbox of your current email address (the one currently attached to your Prolific account)
- Open the email and click the 'Confirm email update'' button. This will trigger a verification email to be sent to your new email address.
- Open the inbox of your new email address and click 'Verify' in the email
After clicking the verification link, you'll be redirected to Prolific, where you'll see a 'Success' notification, and your updated email will appear on your 'My account' page.
