Change login

I started my Paypal account years ago with a different email to log in.  I don't use that email anymore, but I still have to type it in to log in.

I went to my settings and added a new email address which I now use.

But there was no place to change the login email that I have to use to log in to my account.

I didn't delete the old email -- it's listed but not as a primary email.

 

How do I change the login email I use?

Thanks!

So the login "name" just changes when I change my email.

That sounds easy

Thank you!

Go and click on the profile tab (icon next to log out) > click on the + and add another/new email address first > verify/confirm it > go back and click on update and tick the box underneath that says make primary > then you should get the remove option by the old now no longer primary email. You can remove that one or leave it on as you can have up to 8 email addresses on the one paypal account.
