Linking an email address to your account

While you can create an Aternos account without an email address, doing so means you risk permanently losing access to your account if you ever forget your password. In this article, we will show you how to secure your account by linking or updating your email address.

We only use your email address to facilitate password resets and to send essential notifications about your server. We will never send you newsletters, advertisements, or promotional spam. To learn more about how we handle your personal data, please review our privacy policy. You can manage your notification preferences at any time in your account settings.

Link an email address to an existing account

Linking an email address secures your account and allows you to easily recover your password if you ever forget it. To link your email:

  1. Navigate to your Account Settings.
  2. Locate the Email field and enter a valid email address.

Change your account's email address

The process for updating your email address is identical to linking a new one:

  1. Open your Account Settings.
  2. Delete your current email address in the Email field and type in the new one.

Lost access to your linked email

If you lose access to your linked email address and forget your login credentials (like your password), there is no way to regain access to your Aternos account.

Please note Aternos Support cannot bypass this security measure or manually restore access to your account. Maintaining access to your linked email address is your responsibility, and choosing to use an account without one is done entirely at your own risk!
