How can I change my account's username or email address?

You can always change your account's email address or username. 

Keep in mind that the new email address must be unique (not used by any other iNaturalist account), and that usernames must be unique, begin with a letter, contain no spaces, and use only letters, numbers, dashes, and underscores.
