It's not uncommon to change your primary email account over time. This is especially true if your current email address is about to expire, or if you need to change email providers.

Luckily, Steam allows you to change the email address associated with your account.

This is ideal for those that don't have access to the original email associated with their account, or want a different email specifically for Steam.

Here's how to change the email on your Steam account.
