I am unable to log into my Figma account because my associated email address (my school email) has been deactivated by my institution. I can no longer receive authentication codes to log in. Anyone can help here? Thanks!

PS - I’m talking about my other Figma account, not this account.

Hey ​@Brent Li, thanks for reaching out! 

I understand you cannot log in to account under your old email address. Do you happen to have emails from your old email address forwarded to the new email address? If so, I recommend to reset your password so that you can surpass the Google single sign on login to access your Figma account, and then update your email address as needed. 

If your emails are not forwarded, I can create a support ticket on your behalf. What support can do is start the process to manually update your Figma account email address. ​​After the change of the email address of the account, you can log in, and move the files in the account to your new account. For this process they’ll need to verify your ownership of the account.

 

Let me know how you’d like to proceed!

Hey Gayani, I do not have any access to the old email address, [redacted by moderator to remove personal information].

 

I would like to get verified the ownership from the Figma support.

 

Actually, I have already created 2 support orders, but haven’t received anything yet. Attached both order number here. 1634938 and 1638687.

 

Thank you for your support hereGayani!

Hi Tom, big thank you to your help, but I did not receive any email. I guess they sent to the wrong email. Note, I don't have any access to that problems associated email. So, please do not send anything to that email. Instead, can you ask if the support team can send email to this account that I’m currently interacting with you guys? Thanks!
