Why Would You Need to Change Your Supercell ID Email?
Several reasons might necessitate a change in your Supercell ID email:
- Email Address Change: You might have switched email providers or created a new email address for personal or professional reasons.
- Security Concerns: If you suspect your email account has been compromised, changing your Supercell ID email is a crucial step in securing your game accounts.
- Accessibility Issues: If you lose access to your current email address, updating your Supercell ID email becomes essential to maintain control of your game accounts.
- Account Consolidation: You may have multiple Supercell IDs linked to different emails and want to consolidate them under a single, easily manageable email address. Note: You can’t use the same email for 2 supercell ids. You will need to use a different email address for each account you setup with Supercell ID.
- Simply Keeping Things Organized: Sometimes, a simple change in email addresses helps in better organizing your digital life, including your gaming accounts.
How to Change Your Supercell ID Email
The process of changing your Supercell ID email is straightforward:
- Open the Game: Launch the Supercell game (e.g., Clash of Clans, Brawl Stars, Hay Day) you wish to update.
- Go to Settings: Navigate to the in-game Settings menu.
- Supercell ID Option: Find the Supercell ID option (it may appear as a “Connected” button if you’re already linked).
- Supercell ID Settings: Tap the cogwheel icon to access the Supercell ID Settings.
- Change Email: Locate the “Change Email” option next to your current Supercell ID email address.
- Follow Instructions: Supercell will guide you through a verification process. This typically involves sending a verification code to both your old and new email addresses to confirm the change.
Important Considerations During the Change
- Access to Old Email: While not always required, having access to your old email address can streamline the process as you might need to confirm the change.
- Use a Valid Email: Ensure the new email address you provide is valid and one you have immediate access to.
- Verification Codes: Be prepared to check both your old and new email inboxes (and spam folders!) for verification codes from Supercell. These codes are time-sensitive, so act quickly.
- Account Security: Supercell prioritizes account security. They may implement additional verification steps, especially if the email change is initiated from a different device or location.
Best Practices for Managing Your Supercell ID
- Use a Strong Password: Ensure your email account associated with your Supercell ID has a strong, unique password.
- Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): If your email provider offers 2FA, enable it for an added layer of security.
- Be Wary of Phishing: Be cautious of suspicious emails or links that ask for your Supercell ID credentials. Supercell will never ask for your password via email.
- Keep Recovery Options Up-to-Date: Ensure your email account has up-to-date recovery options (phone number, recovery email) in case you lose access.
- Regularly Review Connected Apps: Periodically review the apps and services connected to your email account and remove any that are unfamiliar or no longer in use.
FAQs About Supercell ID Email Changes
Here are some frequently asked questions about managing your Supercell ID email, to provide additional clarity and helpful tips:
1. Can I use the same email for multiple Supercell IDs?
No, you cannot. Each Supercell ID requires a unique email address. This is a security measure to ensure each account is individually verifiable and recoverable.
2. What if I forgot what email I used for my Supercell ID?
Search through your email accounts for any messages mentioning “Supercell ID”. This will help you identify the email address associated with your account. If you still cannot find it, contact Supercell support with as much information about your account as possible (player tag, account name, etc.).
3. Can I recover a deleted Supercell ID?
If you can no longer access your account, Supercell support may be able to help. You will need a valid email address that is not already connected to a Supercell ID to initiate the recovery process. Contact Supercell support for assistance.
4. Is it possible to merge two Supercell IDs?
No, Supercell does not offer a direct feature to merge two Supercell IDs. However, if you have multiple game accounts, you can link them all to a single Supercell ID (one email per Supercell ID).

To disconnect a game from your Gmail, go to your Google account settings, select “Security,” then “Third-party apps with account access.” Find the game and click “Remove Access.”
7. What happens if someone else is using my Supercell ID?
Contact Supercell support immediately. Provide them with as much detail as possible about your account (player tag, account name, etc.). They will investigate the situation and take appropriate action.
8. Does Supercell delete inactive accounts?
Yes, Supercell reserves the right to terminate any account that has been inactive for 180 days. It’s a good idea to log in periodically to keep your account active.
9. What happens if I delete my Supercell account?
If your account is connected to Supercell ID, all other game accounts in other Supercell games connected to the same Supercell ID will also be deleted. Be absolutely certain before deleting your Supercell account.
10. How long until I can change my Supercell ID name?
You can change your in-game name (e.g., in Clash of Clans or Brawl Stars) once for free. After that, subsequent name changes require Gems. This is separate from changing your Supercell ID email.

You can link up to 50 email addresses or Supercell IDs on a single device. This makes it easier to switch between multiple accounts. Note: Each Supercell ID requires a unique email address.
12. Can I sell my Supercell account?
Selling, buying, sharing, or giving game accounts to other players is against Supercell’s Terms of Service and is not endorsed by Supercell. Doing so can result in your account being banned.
13. Is sharing Supercell ID illegal?
While not strictly illegal in the sense of violating criminal law, sharing your Supercell ID violates Supercell’s Terms of Service and can lead to account suspension or termination.
14. Can I overwrite a Supercell ID?
Supercell typically allows overwriting a village onto a Supercell ID only if the village is Town Hall 4 or lower. Once it exceeds that level, the village becomes permanently attached to that ID. Contact Supercell support for assistance with any overwriting issues.
