Change your email address
We change your email address for you — one short message is enough. Your lists, reservations and settings all stay exactly as they are.
Want to use a different email address for your account? We do that for you, usually within one working day.
Why you can’t change it yourself
Your email address is the anchor of your account: it’s how you sign in, how a password reset reaches you, and where every notification about your wishlists goes.
That’s exactly why we check a change by hand. It means nobody with a moment’s access to your device can quietly point your account at an address of their own.
How to do it
- Send a short message to kontakt@wishlist.de
- Tell us your new email address
- We change it on your account
- You get a confirmation — from then on you sign in with the new address
Write from the address you currently sign in with, if you can. Then we can match you straight away.
You’ll find the same link inside the app: your profile page → the Profile tab → under your email address there’s a line asking whether you want to change it.
Nothing is lost
Your account stays exactly as it is:
- Every wishlist, including links you already shared
- Every reservation and contribution your guests made
- Your name, your picture and your settings
Only the address for signing in and for notifications is different afterward.
Please don’t delete your account for this
Some people create a second account and delete the first. That costs you everything attached to it: your wishlists go, the links you shared stop working, and so do your guests’ reservations.
One short message to us is far easier. More about deleting under delete your account.
Common questions
How long does it take?
Usually a few hours, and within one working day at the latest.
Do I have to sign in again?
Yes, with the new address afterward. Your password doesn’t change.
I signed in with Google — does this work too?
Write to us anyway. With a Google sign-in the address belongs to your Google account, so we look at your case individually.
