Changing an account email created with Google authentication

If you created your account using Sign up with Google and sign in by selecting Sign in with Google, you created your account with Google OAuth. If you want to change your email, you'll need to change your account to sign in with a username and password; then, you can change the account email address. Here's how:

  1. Visit https://web.descript.com/account or open the app and view the Profile tab under your Account settings.
