Updating your email address on OLX helps you stay connected and ensures you don’t miss important notifications about your listings, messages, and offers. You can change your email directly from your user dashboard in just a few steps.
🔹 1. Change Email Manually from Your Dashboard
If you registered using your email and password, you can update your email anytime through your profile settings.
Step-by-Step Guide:
- Log in to your OLX Kenya account at https://olxkenya.co.ke/user/dashboard.
- Click on Account Settings or Profile Settings in the sidebar.
- Locate the Email Address field.
- Replace your old email with your new email address.
- Click Save Changes.
- Check your new email inbox for a verification link from OLX Kenya.
- Click the verification link to confirm your new email.
Once verified, your new email will be used for all future communications and login.
💡 Tips for Updating Your Email:
- Use an active email that you can access anytime.
- If you don’t receive the verification mail, check your spam or junk folder.
- Avoid using temporary or shared emails for account security.
🔹 2. Update Email if You Use Google One-Tap Login
If you registered or sign in using Google One-Tap, your email is automatically linked to your Google account.
To change your email in this case:
Steps:
- Log into the Gmail account you want to use on your browser.
- Visit https://olxkenya.co.ke/user/dashboard.
- When prompted by Google One-Tap Login, select your new Gmail address.
- OLX Kenya will link your account to the new Google email automatically.
Since OLX Kenya relies on Google’s verified sign-in system, you don’t need to manually verify this email — it’s already authenticated through Google.
