Need to update the email address associated with your TED.com account?
Follow these steps:
- Log in to TED.com with your current email and password
- Click the account menu in the upper right corner
- In the menu, click Account settings
- On the Account settings page, enter your new email address
- Click ‘Save’
- Check the inbox of your new email address for a message from TED with the subject “Please verify your email.”
- You will need to click the link in that email to complete the change
If you have forgotten your password, you can request a password reset by visiting this page and entering your email address:
https://auth.ted.com/account/password/new
If you encounter an error that you signed up with Google, Facebook or Apple "Single Sign-On (SSO)":
Your TED.com login was authenticated by that account, so changing
your email address would revoke access to your TED.com account
Please email contact@ted.com, and we'll remove the SSO
authentication, allowing you to reset your account login to a direct
password.
If you encounter an error that the change cannot be completed:
This likely means that email you're trying to use for the update is
already registered for a TED.com account. Each email address can
be used for only one TED.com account, and accounts can't be
merged.
To free up the address, the other account must be deleted. Please
email contact@ted.com from that address to confirm that you
own it.
If you no longer have access to the inbox of the email address associated with your account, please reach out to us at contact@ted.com for assistance.
