You often need to have access to your email to be able to change email.

And many services will be like, oh, haven't seen you in a while so we sent you this code to your email to verify it really is you.

Do it now.



ebay's stupid about this. you can reset your password but then they'll still send you an SMS(!) to verify it's you when you try to use your successfully reset password.

I no longer have access to that old number, i ditched that particular account cos it didn't mean much to me and opened a new one, wasn't worth the hassle.
