How to Change Your Email in Slack (Member and Admin Steps)

To change your email in Slack, open your workspace's account settings page, click expand next to Email Address, type your current password and the new address, and click Update Email. Slack then emails the new address, and the change takes effect when you confirm it. On October 27, 2026 we opened that form in our Free test workspace as its Primary Owner and checked what an admin can change for someone else. We did not submit the change.

Change your own email

• Open https://your-workspace.slack.com/account/settings in a browser, with your own workspace URL in place of your-workspace. Where to find your Slack workspace URL shows where to read it.
• On the Settings tab, find Email Address. It shows your current address. Click expand.
• Type your Current Password and the New Email Address.
• Click Update Email, then open the confirmation email Slack sends to the new address.

This is the form we saw:



The change applies to one workspace. Each Slack workspace keeps its own account, so if you are in several, repeat the steps in each one; using multiple Slack workspaces explains how those accounts relate.

If you sign in with Google or a magic link

The form asks for your current password, and there is no way around it on that page. If you have always signed in with Google, Apple or an emailed code, you may never have set one. The page offers Reset your password by email right under the form: use it to set a password first, then come back and change the email. Our test account signs in with a password, so we did not run the reset.

Can an admin change a member's email?

Yes, on paid plans. Slack's help says Workspace Owners and Admins can edit a member's email from Admin > People: click the three dots next to the member, choose Edit profile, change the address and save. Slack then sends a confirmation to the new address. The help page lists this for the Pro and Business+ plans, and an admin can only change accounts with a lower role than their own.

On our Free workspace, the Manage members page listed one person, the owner. The three-dot menu on that row had only Edit your profile and Transfer Ownership:

Bot users do not appear on that page, and our test workspace has no second person, so we could not open another member's menu on Free. If you run a Free workspace and someone needs a new address, they can change it themselves with the steps above.

With single sign-on, members can change their email only if the owner allows it in the SSO settings; Slack's help covers that case.

Before you change it

FAQ

Why can't I change my email in Slack?

The usual reasons are a missing password (set one with Reset your password by email), a workspace on SSO that blocks email changes, or a confirmation email that never arrived. Check spam for the confirmation, then try again.
