Can't Update Email

Currently my figma account is linked to my school email account, but I need to change it to my personal email before my school email is eventually deleted. The whole process goes smoothly, I get the confirmation email, I click “confirm email”, and then it says that I can’t update my email because it’s already taken, but the “email” they say is taken is just random letters and obviously not my email.

Hey ​@Olivia Biordi — welcome to Figma Forum, and thanks for laying out the steps and catching that error message. That detail is really helpful.

I'm not able to access account-specific details in our public spaces, but I want to make sure this gets sorted. I've opened a ticket on your behalf with our Product Support team. Your case number is: 1798010, and they'll follow up once they've had a chance to review.

In the meantime, here's some general info on updating your account email: Manage email address or password.

Please keep an eye on the inbox tied to your Figma account for updates, and thanks for your patience as we look into this.
