Yes, you can change the email address associated with your Figma account. Here’s how you can do it:

Steps to Change Your Email Address in Figma:

1. Log In to Your Figma Account:

• Go to Figma’s website and log in with your current email address and password.

2. Access Account Settings:

• Click on your profile icon in the top-right corner of the screen.
• Select “Account Settings” from the dropdown menu.

3. Update Your Email Address:

• In the Account Settings page, look for the “Email” section.
• Click on the “Edit” button next to your email address.
• Enter your new email address and follow the prompts to save the changes.

4. Verify Your New Email Address:

• Figma will send a verification email to your new email address.
• Open the email and follow the instructions to verify and complete the email address change.

5. Confirm the Change:

• Once you have verified your new email address, it will become the primary email associated with your Figma account.

Important Notes:

• Password Requirement: You might be asked to enter your password to confirm the change.
• Verification: Ensure you complete the email verification process to finalize the change.
• Support: If you encounter any issues or don’t see the option to change your email address, you can contact Figma Support for assistance.

By following these steps, you should be able to successfully update your email address in Figma.

If your Figma account is showing “Managed by Google” instead of providing an option to change your email, it means your Figma account is linked to your Google account. In this case, you cannot change your email directly through Figma because the email management is controlled by Google.

Here’s what you can do:

Options to Address “Managed by Google”

1. Change Email Address in Google Account:

• Since your Figma account is tied to your Google account, you would need to update your email address in Google.
• Note: Google does not allow you to change the email address for Gmail accounts directly, but if you’re using a non-Gmail address (like a work or custom domain email) with Google, you may be able to change it.
• If changing the email within Google is not an option, you’ll need to use the current Google account to continue accessing Figma.

2. Create a New Figma Account with the Desired Email Address:

• If changing the email address in Google isn’t feasible, you can create a new Figma account using the desired email address.
• Steps:
  1. Sign out of your Figma account.
  2. Go to the Figma website and create a new account using the email address you want to use.
  3. You may need to transfer files and teams from the old account to the new one.

3. Transfer Files and Projects:

• After creating a new account with your desired email, you can transfer ownership of your files and projects from your old Figma account to the new one.
• To do this:
  1. Open the file you want to transfer in your old account.
  2. Click Share in the top-right corner.
  3. Invite your new account to the file with Editor access.
  4. Once invited, open the file in the new account and duplicate it to take ownership.

4. Contact Figma Support:

• If neither of the above options works or you want further clarification, you can contact Figma Support to ask if there are any alternatives or solutions they can provide.

Since your account is managed by Google, the ability to change the email address is limited by Google’s settings, so either updating your Google account email or creating a new Figma account might be your best solution.
