How to change your StickyID

Windows

Your StickyAccount is your online account where you can manage your Sticky Password license and settings, and everything to do with backing-up and syncing your passwords on your authorized devices using Sticky Password cloud storage.

Your StickyAccount is protected by your StickyID and your Master Password, and the connection uses HTTPS protocol to ensure secure communication when you log in.

Why would you ever need to change your StickyID?

Your StickyID is your email address that is used as the unique identifier for your StickyAccount. There are all sorts of reasons that you might need to change an email address, and that means that you may run into various situations when you’d need to update the email address that is also your StickyID.

If you simply need to change the email address that your StickyAccount communication - including one-time PINs - will be sent to, then it is NOT necessary to change your StickyID.

If you are still using the email address in your StickyID: i.e. as long as this email address is safe and protected by a strong password, and is accessible only by you, then you can simply set an alternative email address. All communication for your StickyAccount will be sent to your alternative email address.
