Originally created by @keytech42 on GitHub (Feb 25, 2026).

I used GH OAuth login, but the mail I want to use in the community differs from the GH primary email address.
Thus, I want to change the address. Are there any future plans of allowing this?

Hi @keytech42 Thanks for checking. You could simply make a new account.

Tito community logout
Tito Community login

Follow the prompts to log in or create an account

Then if you run your other tito commands and you've chosen to share your results with the community, it should resync all your account info from your GH account to whatever new account you have.

Does that make sense?

Thank you for replying :)

Could you confirm whether it’s possible to change only the registered email address while keeping the same GitHub account? Otherwise, would it be possible to delete the existing account and create a new one?

For GitHub‑OAuth accounts, the email is controlled entirely by GitHub. The system we use for Auth can only use the primary, verified email that GitHub sends during login, so it isn’t possible to change the registered email from inside the community site.

If you’d prefer to make an account with a different email instead, I can delete your existing community account—you can also just keep the other account, in case you're ok not to delete your original account.

Yes - in that case I’d prefer deleting the current account to re-create it.
