- Some changes may take a few minutes to sync across the system.
- If you made a mistake, you can go back and edit it again.
Troubleshooting: What If You Can’t Change Your Email?
The “Edit” button doesn’t appear: You may not have the right account permissions. Contact the Absher help center or visit your nearest service center.
You keep getting an error message: Make sure:
- Your new email is valid (no spaces, correct spelling)
- The email isn’t already registered on another Absher account
- Your browser cookies are cleared, or try logging out and back in
