Why do we change our email address?
How often do we change our email address? Different analysis would give us different explanations. By updating your user information when some changes are done you can simply avoid all problems.
People create email addresses and use them for a while. Suddenly they decide to change the email address which means that it is not in use any more and that creates problems.
What is it that makes us change the email address?
Different analysis would give us different explanations. It can be some private reason or the fact that the domain address where the email address is created does not exist any more. It can also be so that we have changed the job and are not allowed to use the same job email address anymore.
However, the change can give us some troubles like e.g. problems with getting emails with passwords or invoices. The frustration can be huge.

Both parts, the person with the problem and also the supporter if there is some kind of tension because of the problem.
The problem is bigger when getting help takes too long time. Some companies help fast and the problem can be solved withing 24 hours while it can take one week or more for other companies to help.
What to do to avoid the problems?
One solution is to try to update your user information when some changes are done.
The second one is to avoid having many email addresses so you loose the control.
The third one is to save all websites where the email address is the contact address.
What ever you decide:
Do not be stressed and frustrated because there is always a solution if you forget your email address.
There are situations where the procedure is more complicated than it is in some other situations. If you ever experience this problem, stay calm and follow the instruction and do not try to jump over the steps that must be done before the problem is solved.
