Edit Your Email Address

To edit the email address associated with your Square account:

1. Visit Account & Settings in your online Square Dashboard.

2. Under Personal Information, select Sign in & security and click Update next to the current email address.

3. If you already have 2-Step Verification enabled, enter and confirm the new email address you’d like to associate with your Square account > Change.

4. If you’re not already using 2-Step Verification, select whether you’d like a verification code sent to the current email address or your phone number > Next.

5. Enter the verification code > Submit.

In case you don’t see the verification email in your inbox, check your spam folder or email filters. If you selected a phone number, make sure this number can receive SMS messages.

If you can’t access the inbox of your original account email, let us know. If you received a verification email and didn’t request the change, contact Square Support.

Note: Your email address is used to log in to your Square Dashboard and the Square app on your mobile device.

Edit Your Business Name
