You Don't Still Have That AOL Email on Your Valorant Account, Do You? A Hilarious Guide to Updating Your Info (Because Seriously, Get a New Email)
Let's face it, folks. We've all been there. You boot up Valorant, ready to finally push into Immortal rank (or at least Bronze 3, baby steps!), and then... dread. You see that login tied to your old email address. The one from your middle school days that proudly declared your love for dinosaurs and all things spiky (we've all got our phases).
Fear not, fallen soldier! This guide will be your knight in shining armor (or maybe a slightly rusty iron dagger, depending on your rank). We'll have you rocking a fresh, new email on your Valorant account faster than you can say "Defeat."
But First, A Public Service Announcement (Because We Care):
Listen up, gamers. Having an outdated email on your account is a security nightmare. It's like leaving your front door wide open with a neon sign that says "Free Valorant Account Inside!" Do yourself a favor and create a new, secure email address.
Now, with that public service announcement out of the way, let's get down to business!
Operation: Email Evasion (Aka How to Change That Email Address)
-
Summon the Login Gods: Head over to the magical land of https://account.riotgames.com/ and prepare to log in. If you haven't prayed to the RNG gods for a good login attempt in a while, this might be a good time.
-
Navigate the Labyrinth (Don't Get Lost in Account Management): Once logged in, you'll be staring at your account in all its glory. But don't get distracted by your amazing stats (or lack thereof). Look for the section called "Account Management." This is where the email-changing magic happens.
-
Behold! The Personal Information Portal: Within the glorious "Account Management" section, you'll find a treasure trove of information, including that dusty old email address. Click on "Personal Information" and prepare to be amazed (or possibly horrified).
-
The Moment of Truth (and Hopefully Not Tears): Here lies the culprit, your outdated email address. Shed a single tear for the simpler times (and questionable email choices) of your youth. Then, with the courage of a thousand Radiant players, type in your new, secure email address.
-
Don't Be a Fool, Verify the New Email (Because Two-Factor Authentication is Your Friend): Click that sweet "Save and Verify" button. But wait! Riot, in their infinite wisdom, won't just let you waltz in with a new email. They'll send a verification code to your old email (dramatic music plays!). This is why we highly recommend having access to that old email.
-
Conquer the Verification Code (You've Got This!): Once you snag that verification code from your old email, pop it back into the Riot website. If all goes according to plan (and the tech gods are smiling upon you), your email address will be sparkling new!
Congratulations, You've Leveled Up Your Account Security (and Maybe Your Ego)!
Now you can log in to Valorant with pride, knowing your account is safe and sound (and not tied to an email address that screams "pre-teen with questionable taste in webkinz usernames"). Go forth and dominate the competition, valiant warrior! Just remember, with great email security comes great responsibility. Don't go forgetting this new email address, alright?
