How to Remove Email from Amazon Account in 2025

Is your previous email address associated with your Amazon account? You may have switched your email service or wish to improve security. 

While Amazon does not allow you to delete your login email completely, you can easily change it to a different one. 

This guide will help you with the process of removing your Amazon account's old email address quickly and safely.

What is Amazon?

Amazon.com is the world's largest online retailer and a major cloud service provider. 

Amazon launched as an online bookselling company and has since grown into an internet-based business operation that focuses mainly on offering e-commerce, cloud computing, digital streaming, and artificial intelligence (AI) services.

Amazon, headquartered in Seattle, operates individual websites, software development centres, customer service centres, data centres, and fulfilment centres all over the world.

Why Should I Remove My Email from Amazon?

You cannot entirely remove your email address from your Amazon account. Your email address functions as your login credentials thus Amazon needs it for account verification and security.

However, you can decide to change your email address for the following reasons:

Safety of Your Account

If you are concerned about the security of your old email address (for example, a past data breach), switching to a new, secure email can help protect your account.

New Email Provider

You might have switched to a new email provider and wish to use that address for Amazon instead.

Incorrect Email

You may have mistakenly entered the wrong email address when you created your account. Updating it ensures that you receive essential notifications.

Unused Email

If you can no longer access your previous email address, switching to a new one ensures you will not miss necessary Amazon messages.

How to Remove Email from an Amazon Account

1. First of all, go to amazon.com and log in to your account.
2. After that, on the top right side of the screen, click on the Account option.

3. Then click on the Your Account option from the dropdown menu.

5. Now tap the Edit button next to your email address on the next page.

6. Then enter the new email in the New Email Address box and click on the Continue button.

7. Next, Amazon will send you a verification code in your email. You have to enter that code on the next page and click on the Continue button.

8. Now your email has been changed and verified, enter your password in the Password box and click on the Save Changes button.

That is it; you have successfully removed your previous email address from your Amazon account.

Important Factors to Note Before Removing Your Email from Your Amazon Account

There are some key points to consider before removing your old email:

Access to Old Email

Make sure you can still reach your old email account. To verify the change, a confirmation email can be sent to the previous address.

Update Linked Accounts

If you use Amazon login (Amazon Sign-in) to log into other websites, you must update your email address on those platforms as well.

Order History & Reviews

Updating your email address will not affect your order history, digital purchases, or product reviews. They will remain linked to your Amazon account.

Subscriptions and Prime Membership

Before changing your email address, make sure you have cancelled any unnecessary subscriptions. The Prime subscription remains linked to your account.

Payment methods

Updating your email address will not delete your saved payment methods. You can always manage or delete them in your account settings.

Is Amazon Considered a Secure Platform?

Amazon has been regarded as a secure platform, yet it, like any other internet network, has weaknesses. 

Phishing scams that impersonate Amazon emails to steal login credentials, data breaches in which hackers get access to user information, and insecure third-party sellers providing fake or dangerous products are all potential safety threats. 

To remain safe, avoid unsolicited emails, use two-factor authentication, and research sellers before making a transaction.
