Changing Your Email Address

You can change the email address associated with your SmartVault account from your user settings. Remember that since your email address serves as your SmartVault user ID, the new email address you enter will also become your unique SmartVault user ID when logging in. If you have previously used the new email address for any SmartVault logins, you cannot change your current email address to that one.

  Important Notes

    • Once a contact has been invited to SmartVault, an Administrator cannot change their name or email address. For security reasons, the client must log in and edit their information.
    • Your password must meet or exceed SmartVault's current minimum security requirements before you can update your email address.

If You Don't Have Access to Your Old Email

  • For Guest/Client Users: Contact the account owner, either the individual or the firm, that originally invited you. They can send an invitation to your new email address.
  • For Account Employees: If you are an employee of the company owning the SmartVault account, reach out to your account administrator for assistance.
  • For Individual Account Administrators: If you are the only administrator on the account, please contact SmartVault support for assistance.
