Can I change my username, email address, or password?

A membership can't be transferred to someone else. You can change your own details as below, but the membership stays with you.

Go to your Account page: click your username in the top right corner, or the Menu on a phone, and select Account.

1. Email: update the Email Address field and click Save Changes. We'll send a verification link to the new address, so click that before your next sign-in.
2. Password: click Send password reset email, then follow the link. If it doesn't arrive in a few minutes, check your spam or promotions folder, add @eatyourbooks.com to your safe senders list, and try again.
3. Username: email us at info@eatyourbooks.com and we'll change it for you.

If you're locked out because you forgot your password, click the "Forgot?" link on the sign-in screen to get a reset email.

If you signed in with Apple or Google

Eat Your Books and CookShelf share one login, so this applies on both.

1. You can't change your email address yourself if you signed in with Apple or Google. Email us and we'll help you move to a new account with the address you want, bringing your books and subscription with you.
2. If you chose Hide My Email when signing in with Apple, your account uses a private relay address ending in @privaterelay.apple.id. Mail sent there still reaches you, but we can't see your real address, so we can't match your account to an existing one by email. That's the usual reason books stop syncing between Eat Your Books and CookShelf.
3. If you signed up with an email and password, you can add Sign in with Apple or Google later and keep both. Don't choose Hide My Email when you do, or the two accounts won't match.
4. To add an email and password login to an Apple or Google account, open Settings in the CookShelf app and tap your email address under Account Management. If you're on a private relay address, use that relay address as your login rather than your real one.
