Hoyoverse’s wildly popular title, Genshin Impact, has attracted millions of players, but there are times when an email account or password change is necessary. Fortunately, Genshin Impact allows players to change these two credentials. If you’re unsure how to perform an email or password change, you’re in luck. Read on to find out what the steps are.

How to Change Genshin Impact Email or Password on a PC

There are two main ways to switch your Genshin Impact account’s linked email address and password when you’re on a PC. They also work on mobile devices, but we’ll get into that later. You should have a working Hoyoverse account that you can log into before proceeding.

There are a couple of reasons why someone might want to swap their current Genshin Impact email address for another one.

• They used the wrong email address.
• They want to make a new account using the old email address.

No matter the reason, Hoyoverse makes it incredibly easy to change it. We’ll first start with the standard one.

1. Go to the official Genshin Impact website.
   
2. Log in to your account.
   
3. Click on Account to reach the settings menu.
   
4. Log in again.
   
5. Go to Account Information.
   
6. Select Account Security Settings.
   
7. Click on Modify Link to change your email.
   
8. Send a validation code to the current address.
   
9. Paste and submit the code after receiving it.
   
10. After verification, enter your new email address.
    
11. Send another code to the new address.
    
12. Submit it and complete the process.
    
13. Log into your Genshin Impact account using the new email address to test.
    

An alternate method is to access the relevant sections within Genshin Impact itself.

1. When in Genshin Impact, open the Paimon Menu.
   
2. Go to Settings.
   
3. Head to Account.
   
4. Select Click To Proceed to the right of User Center in the main panel.
   
5. Press Modify Link.
   
6. Send the current email address a validation code.
   
7. Copy and paste it before selecting Next.
   
8. Enter the new email address you want to link.
   
9. Send a verification code to it as well.
   
10. Enter the code and click Link.
    

The second method is arguably easier as you don’t have to navigate many menus. However, both ways are effective, and you can easily use both on separate occasions.

Changing Your Password

If you forgot your password or want to improve your account security, Hoyoverse will help you. The process on PC is also relatively simple.

The steps for swapping email addresses are slightly different from changing your password.

1. Go to the official Genshin Impact website.
   
2. Click on Log In.
   
3. Select Forgot Password.
   
4. Verify your email address.
   
5. Click on Next.
   
6. On the Security Verification page, send yourself a verification code.
   
7. Paste the verification code in the field and submit it.
   
8. Create a new password for your Genshin Impact account.
   
9. Retype and Confirm the new password.
   
10. Test to make sure you can log in with the new password.
    

The second method would be using the User Center inside Genshin Impact. This method is better if you automatically log in to the game but forget your password and want to reset it.

1. On Genshin Impact for PC, open the Paimon Menu by pressing Esc.
   
2. Pick the Settings option.
   
3. Head to Account.
   
4. Click on the User Center.
   
5. Choose the option that says Change Password.
   
6. Verify your email address by pasting the code.
   
7. Enter the new password in the field.
   
8. Confirm the new password in the text box below the first field.
   
9. Once the process is complete, you can log in using the new password.
   

Since only one login can be active anytime, changing your password increases your account security against potential hackers.
