Account: allow changing the email address in-place, instead of forcing a new account

Summary / Feature request

Please add the ability to change the email address on an existing Claude account in-place (via account settings, with an email-verification step). Today this is impossible.

Current state

Per the Help Center (How do I change the email address associated with my account?), changing your account email is not possible. The only path offered is to cancel the current subscription and create a brand-new account with the new email.

Why this matters

• Creating a new account means losing conversation history, Projects, and settings, and re-doing subscription/billing. That is a heavy, disruptive cost for what should be a trivial change.
• Email addresses legitimately change (domain moves, provider switches, alias/forwarding-domain migration, deliverability issues). Being unable to update your own account email feels user-hostile and patronizing, and pushes people toward account churn — or toward cancelling entirely out of principle.
• It is now a common baseline expectation: essentially every other major service (Google, Microsoft, Proton, GitHub, etc.) supports an in-place, verified email change. Claude being the exception is a notable gap, especially for paying subscribers who have significant history and tooling tied to the account.

Requested behavior

• In Settings → Account, allow the user to enter a new email address.
• Send a verification link to the new address; on confirmation, the account email is updated in place.
• History, Projects, subscription, and all settings stay intact on the same account.
• Handle SSO/Google-login accounts sensibly (e.g. allow adding/switching a password-based login, or re-linking the identity).

Context

Real-world trigger: a user migrating away from an alias/forwarding email domain across all their services was able to update the email everywhere except Claude — the one service they most depend on — and the only workaround (cancel + recreate) would destroy their history and setup. In-place email change would fully solve this.

Thanks for considering.
