Changing the email address on your Roku account is easy when you know the proper steps.
You can change it by signing into your Roku account and updating the account details. Alternatively, a factory reset or enabling the guest mode can also be used to change or add another email address.
Let’s dig into the details and explore different methods to change the email on your Roku Tv.
Setting Up a Roku Account
Creating a new Roku account is necessary if you have a new device.
Your Roku account can link multiple devices, allowing you to use your personalized settings on different devices. Even if the device is already in use, you need to set up your account because it’s challenging to make changes when the device already has an active account with a registered email.
I will use the factory reset method for these devices, which will be explained later on in the article.
