We do let you change it; under your account setting there is a email with an edit button next to it. And it shouldn’t need to match your GitHub email.

Perhaps there is some weirdness if you’ve signed up with GitHub. Feel free to email me and we can take a look: [email protected]

Thanks, but.. this was true as of some months ago. And I definitely was told by support that my [personal] email couldn’t connect to my [consulting] GitHub email account. I re-arranged quite a lot of my tech life to connect the two, per Replit support.

But I’ll double check tomorrow and reach out if I find anything worth sharing.

This kind of stuff is simply a result to certain companies having a userbase bigger than they maybe even want (especially when offering a free tier).

They can get away with not implementing even basic stuff, becauase their core feature is all 99% of the users even care about.

At some point, it must be worth it to implement this just for the sake of their customer support team alone.

Then again, they have LLMs that can just deflect all "change email" related questions to an FAQ article containing the "wontfix" information...
