When you update the email address associated with your account, we will send you an email asking you to confirm the change. In the message we send you, click the Confirm button to inform us that the email address is yours.

Note: If you do not complete the confirmation process described above, your email will remain in unconfirmed status. This means that you will not be able to take advantage of certain account features, such as requesting your Tweet archive or using security features like login verification.
