5 Advanced Members Nick Posted December 26, 2017 Advanced Members Share Posted December 26, 2017 Since nobody has clearly stated it - xat does require you to create a Gmail account to get your email updated. No other providers are accepted at this time for precautionary measures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3 Advanced Members Leandro Posted December 26, 2017 Advanced Members Share Posted December 26, 2017 Gmail is currently the safest email security provider there is. You can protect your Google e-mail account by enabling two-step verification, which includes features such as phone verification, authentication apps, back-up codes, and security keys. That's why if you're having any trouble at the time when login, you should change your current xat email to Gmail. If you need more information about this, you can always check https://util.xat.com/wiki/index.php/Email_Security. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the change is made, your register will be with the new mail thats what i did though. when i created the new email address, i opened a ticket to have the new yahoo email address to updated on my account. thats when the volunteer told me that i needed to have a gmail address to update my email address.

-2 Advanced Members Samuel Posted December 26, 2017 Advanced Members Share Posted December 26, 2017 Possibly it was a suggestion from the volunteer. Since as they have said previously Gmail is the safest. @xsilentx When you create the new Email you tells the volunteer (on the current ticket) to make the change. When the change is made, your register will be with the new mail On 12/26/2017 at 8:50 PM, xsilentx said: thats what i did though. when i created the new email address, i opened a ticket to have the new yahoo email address to updated on my account. thats when the volunteer told me that i needed to have a gmail address to update my email address. So you must perform the same procedure that you did with the Yahoo account but with a Gmail account, you must follow the steps indicated by the volunteers, they have the last word in the decision. You asked the volunteer of your ticket if it was mandatory to use a Gmail account? @xsilentx Apparently you are going to have to use a Gmail since it is safer and maybe it will make it easier for them to make the change (I'm not sure about that last) but if the volunteer told you to use it, you should do it. I remind you that the last word is for Volunteers and you must follow their steps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
