Troubleshooting email address changes

If you encounter an error when trying to update your email (let’s call it email A) to a new email (email B), it’s likely that email B is already associated with an existing account. 

Example of error message:

Follow these steps to resolve the issue:

1. Log in with email B
   • Try logging into the account associated with email B.
   • If you can’t remember the password for email B, reset the password and log in.
2. Change the email for email B account
   • Once logged in, update the email for the account associated with email B to a different email address (e.g., email C).
3. Update the email for email A account
   • Log back into the account associated with email A. You should now be able to update it to email B.

✨ Pro tip: If you’re leaving your institution or anticipate losing access to your current email, make sure to update your BioRender account with a new email address before access is removed. This ensures you can still receive password reset emails and continue accessing your account without issues.
