Changing your account email address, or adding a new one

You can have more than one email address associated with your Whimsical account, which lets you receive different workspace notifications at different addresses, or transition the account smoothly from one address to another (if you're switching companies for example).

Adding multiple account email addresses is a great way to safeguard your account in case you forget your password or lose access to the default email address.
