I want ability to change my username, even if it takes couple of days to reencrypt all data, event if it costs some money to process it, event if it will reencrypt data in boundaries of my computer.

I think we should be able to change our username or email address to something that hasn’t been used by someone else. For example:

Your current ProtonMail email is: protonuser@proton.me

But you want to change "protonuser" to "protonlover." Right now, you cannot change your username or address either. You must create a new account and move everything to the new account. This results in a lot of lost time and challenges.

So I think we should be able to change the username (the left side of @) and @proton.me or @protonmail.com without having to create a new account.

protonuser@proton.me -> protonlover@protonmail.com

Or

protonuser@proton.me -> protonuser@protonmail.com

Or

protonuser@proton.me -> protonlover@proton.me

Protonmail have said that this isn't possible, but it's unclear to me whether that is a business decision or a theoretical impossibility. They mention authentication keys but I'm unclear why they can't just unencrypt then re-encrypt everything with a new key. If it actually is theoretically impossible (rather than just technically difficult) it would be good have that mentioned somewhere

I want to change the username of my account

I want to change the username of my account

Somehow my account has gotten on a list that is sending me solicitation emails to my primary account. If I cannot change my username I am willing to create a new account but I am a paid subscriber with two personal domains setup. I am OK with setting those back up on the new account but I really need to do away with this account so the email stop coming to me. If I cannot not change my username can I move my paid subscription to a new account?

agree

I'd like to be able to change my current xxx@protonmail.com address to xxx@protonmail.ch without getting a new username.

What if one's username reflects a legal/given name, and one is transitioning (transgender)? Can we possibly change the username to reflect our "preferred" email address / alias?

Can *@protonmail.com can be linked to *@protonmail.ch - for those who prefer the Swiss extension, or is that not possible?
