Your email address is both your sign-in identity and where every Gold Silver Ledger notification lands — trial reminders, receipts, password resets, the lot.
If you've moved off an old provider, retired a work address, or you just want everything routed to your good inbox from now on, you can change it yourself from the Security tab in Settings.
The change is a two-step flow: you submit the new address from inside the app, then click a confirmation link we email to that new address.
The change only takes effect once you click the link, which is the polite way of making sure you typed the address you meant to type.
Where to find it
The email change form lives on the Security tab of your Settings page, in a card called Change Email on the right-hand side.
From the left nav, click Settings.
Click the Security tab along the top of the Settings page.
Look for the Change Email card on the right. Underneath the title it reads: "A confirmation link will be sent to your new address."
The card to the left of it (Change Password) is for a different job. If you came here to change your password instead, that's the one you want.
How to change it
Three fields and a button. In order:
New email address. Type the address you want to switch to. Double-check it before moving on — the confirmation link goes here, so a typo means a confirmation email you can't open.
Current password. The password you sign in with today. We ask for this so a stranger who finds your laptop unlocked at a coffee shop can't hijack your account by changing the email on it.
Click Send Confirmation.
That triggers a confirmation email to the new address within a minute or so.
Confirming the change from your new inbox
Open the new inbox and look for a message from Gold Silver Ledger with a subject line about confirming your email change. Click the confirmation link inside.
Once the link is clicked:
Your account's sign-in email is updated to the new address.
All future emails from Gold Silver Ledger — receipts, trial notices, password resets, anything from your Stripe billing portal — go to the new address.
The next time you sign in, use the new address. Your password stays exactly the same.
If the confirmation email doesn't show up in a minute or two, check your spam or promotions folder before doing anything else. Mail filters are unpredictable, and our confirmation emails sometimes get sorted alongside marketing.
Until you click the link, nothing has changed
This is worth knowing. From the moment you click Send Confirmation until the moment you click the link in the email, your account email is still the old one. You can still sign in with it. You'll still receive notifications there. Submitting the form does not lock you out of your old address while you wait — it just queues up the change.
If you decide partway through that you don't actually want to switch (you typed the wrong domain, you changed your mind, the new account isn't ready), just ignore the confirmation email. The link expires on its own and your account email stays as-is. To start over, come back to the Security tab and submit the form again with the address you want.
A note on what your email is used for
Your account email does three things in Gold Silver Ledger:
It's how you sign in.
It's where transactional emails are sent (receipts, password resets, trial-ending notices, plan changes).
It's the identifier Stripe uses on your invoices and receipts — so if you change your email here, your future Stripe receipts will be addressed to the new one.
Past invoices and receipts already issued by Stripe keep the address that was current at the time. Nothing rewrites your billing history retroactively.
Where to go next
[Changing your password]: the other half of the Security tab — same place, different card.
[Resetting a forgotten password]: the email-link reset flow, which sends to your current account email.
[Viewing past invoices and receipts]: where your Stripe billing history lives, and how the email on those receipts is set.
[I'm not receiving the verification email]: the diagnostic checklist if a confirmation message isn't arriving.
