Your TiviMate account email is more important than you might realize. It's the key to accessing your premium subscription, unlocking features across devices, and securing your streaming setup. But what if you've changed emails, gotten hacked, or simply need to update it? This guide shows you exactly how to change your email address in TiviMate - whether you're a free user or have premium access.
Quick Overview
- TiviMate ties all premium licenses and subscriptions to your registered email address
- Direct email changes within the app aren't available - you'll need to contact support

- Method 2: Update email through TiviMate Companion app account settings
- Method 3: Contact TiviMate support for locked accounts or hacked emails
- Always keep your old email active until the change is confirmed
Why Your TiviMate Email Matters
Before we jump into the how-to, let's talk about why this email is so critical. Your TiviMate email address is the foundation of your entire account. It's what identifies you as the premium subscriber, what grants you access to all your unlocked features, and what keeps your subscription linked across multiple devices. If your email gets compromised, loses access, or you simply no longer use it, you could lose access to premium features you've already paid for. That's why changing it correctly is important.
Why Direct Changes Aren't Possible
Here's the reality you need to know upfront: TiviMate doesn't allow you to simply log into the app, click settings, and change your email like most apps do. This is because of how their licensing system works. Your email is hardcoded into your premium license. Changing it incorrectly could break your subscription across all your devices. That's why the process is a bit more involved than you'd expect, it's actually a safety feature to protect your account.
Method 1: Via TiviMate Website
The official TiviMate website is where you can manage your account settings and make changes to your registered email. Here's exactly how to do it:
Step 1: Access the TiviMate Website Login Page
- Open your web browser on any computer or phone
- Go to https://tivimate.com/log-in
- You'll see the official TiviMate login page - bookmark this for future reference
Step 2: Log Into Your Current Account
- Enter your current email address in the email field
- Enter your password
- Click the "Login" button
- Wait for the page to load - you should see your account dashboard
Important: If you've forgotten your password, click "Forgot Password" on the login page. You'll receive a password reset link at your current email address. Complete the reset before trying to log in again.
Step 3: Locate Account Settings
- Once logged in, look for "Account Settings" or "Profile Settings" - this is usually in the top navigation or a dropdown menu
- Click on it to access your account management area
- You should see all your registered account information displayed
Step 4: Update Your Email Address
- Find the email field in your account settings
- Click on it to edit - it should become an editable text field
- Clear the old email address completely
- Type your new email address carefully - no typos allowed here
- Double-check the new email is correct before proceeding
Step 5: Verify Your New Email
- Click "Save Changes" or "Update Email"
- TiviMate will send a verification link to your new email address
- Check your new email inbox (including spam folder)
- Click the verification link in the email from TiviMate
- Your new email is now confirmed and active
Email Change Complete: Your TiviMate account is now linked to your new email address. You can log in using this new email from now on.
Method 2: Via TiviMate Companion App
If you have the TiviMate Companion app installed on an Android phone or tablet, you can manage your account settings there as well. The Companion app is specifically designed for account management and premium subscription handling.
Step 1: Open TiviMate Companion
- Open the TiviMate Companion app on your Android device
- If you haven't installed it yet, download it from the Google Play Store
- Log in using your current TiviMate email and password
Step 2: Navigate to Account Settings
- Look for a "Settings" icon or "Account" menu - typically at the top of the app
- Tap on "Account Settings" or "Manage Account"
- This will show your current account information
Step 3: Edit Your Email Address
- Find the email field in account settings
- Tap on it to make it editable
- Delete the current email address
- Type your new email address carefully
- Make sure there are no spaces or typos
Step 4: Save and Verify
- Tap "Save" or "Update"
- The app will send a verification email to your new email address
- Go to your new email and click the verification link
- Once verified, your email change is complete
Method 3: Contact TiviMate Support
If your account is locked, you've been hacked, you can't access your old email, or the above methods don't work, you'll need to contact TiviMate support directly. They can manually update your email with proper verification.
How to Contact TiviMate Support
- Visit the official TiviMate website at tivimate.com
- Look for a "Support," "Contact," or "Help" link
- Click on it to access their support contact page
- You can typically email their support team or submit a contact form
What to Include in Your Support Email: Provide your current email address, desired new email address, order number or proof of purchase, and a clear explanation of why you need to change emails (security, account access, etc.). This information helps them verify you own the account.
What to Expect From Support
- Support will ask you to verify you own the account (they might ask security questions or for proof of purchase)
- Once verified, they'll update your email address in their system
- You'll receive confirmation that the change is complete
- You can then log in using your new email address
What Happens After You Change Your Email
Now that you've successfully changed your email, here's what you need to know about what happens next. Your new email becomes the primary account identifier immediately. All future communications from TiviMate will go to your new address. Password resets will be sent to your new email. Most importantly, if you have premium access, your subscription remains active - it just transfers to your new email.
On Your Devices: You don't need to do anything on your TiviMate app or Android TV box immediately. However, next time you need to log in or activate premium, use your new email address. If you're already logged in, you'll remain logged in unless you manually log out.
On TiviMate Companion: The next time you log into the Companion app on your Android phone, use your new email and password. The app will recognize your premium subscription with the updated email.
Don't Close Your Old Email Yet
This is really important and people get this wrong. Even after successfully changing your email in TiviMate, don't close or delete your old email account immediately. Here's why:
- Password recovery emails might still be sent to your old address during transition
- Device activations or premium unlocks might trigger emails to your old address
- If something goes wrong, you need access to confirm the change
Wait at least 30 days after a successful email change before closing your old email account. This gives TiviMate's system time to fully update across all servers and devices.
Premium Subscription - Will It Still Work?
Yes, absolutely. Your premium subscription isn't tied to an email address in the traditional sense - it's tied to your TiviMate account ID. When you change your email, you're just changing the login credential for that account. Your subscription status, remaining days, or lifetime access remains exactly the same. You'll continue to have all premium features across all your registered devices.
The only thing that changes is how you log in. Instead of using your old email and password, you'll use your new email and password. Everything else - your IPTV playlists, your EPG, your recording settings, all your devices - everything stays intact.
Troubleshooting:
I Didn't Receive the Verification Email
The Issue: You changed your email, but the verification link never arrived.
The Fix: Check your spam or junk folder in your new email - sometimes verification emails get filtered. If it's really not there, wait 5 minutes and try requesting a new verification email. Some email providers have delays. If it's still not arriving after 15 minutes, contact TiviMate support to manually verify your email address.
I Clicked the Verification Link But Nothing Happened
The Issue: The verification email arrived, you clicked the link, but the page just shows a loading screen or an error.
The Fix: The link might have expired (usually after 24 hours). Log back into tivimate.com with your new email and look for an option to "Resend Verification Email." This will send a fresh link. Click it and complete the verification process.
I Can't Log In With My New Email
The Issue: You've successfully changed your email and verified it, but when you try to log in, it says your credentials are invalid.
The Fix: Make sure you're using the new email address (not the old one) and the correct password. Remember, passwords are case-sensitive. If you're still getting rejected, click "Forgot Password," have the reset link sent to your new email, and create a new password. If that doesn't work, you might have made a typo when changing your email. Contact TiviMate support to verify what email is actually on file.
Premium Features Disappeared After the Email Change
The Issue: You changed your email, but now TiviMate says you don't have premium access anymore.
The Fix: This usually happens if your verification didn't fully complete on TiviMate's system. Log into the TiviMate website again and check your account settings to confirm your email is marked as verified. If it's not, resend the verification email and complete it. If your email shows as verified but you still don't see premium features, contact TiviMate support with your order number - they can manually confirm your subscription status with the new email.
FAQ
Q: Will changing my email affect my IPTV playlists or channel list?
A: No. Your IPTV playlists, channels, EPG data, favorites, and all settings remain exactly the same. The email change only affects how you log into your account - it doesn't touch any of your streaming content or configuration.
Q: Can I change my TiviMate email more than once?
A: Yes, you can change your email as many times as you need. There's no limit to how many times you can update it. Just follow the same process each time.
Q: What if my old email was hacked? Will the hacker keep access to my TiviMate account?
A: No. Once you change your email address through the official TiviMate website or Companion app, your old email no longer works to log in. The hacker would need your new email address and password to access your account. After changing your email, also change your password to be extra safe.
Q: I don't have access to my old email anymore. How do I change my TiviMate email?
A: If you've lost access to your old email, you'll need to contact TiviMate support directly. They have alternative verification methods (like asking for your order number or proof of purchase) that don't require accessing your old email. Reach out through their official website and explain your situation.
Q: Does changing my email in TiviMate also change my Google Play Store subscription email?
A: No, they're separate. Your TiviMate account email and your Google Play Store subscription email are independent. If you purchased TiviMate Premium through Google Play, you manage that subscription through Google's account settings, not through TiviMate. However, many users use the same email for both for simplicity.
Q: Will I need to reactivate premium on my devices after changing my email?
A: Not necessarily. If you're already logged in and premium is active on a device, it should remain active. However, if you log out and log back in on any device, you'll need to use your new email and password. Activation will still recognize your premium subscription.
Q: How long does it take for the email change to work across all my devices?
A: The email change takes effect immediately on TiviMate's servers. However, devices that are already logged in might not reflect the change until you log out and back in. Most devices will update within a few minutes, but it can take up to a few hours for full synchronization across all registered devices.
Q: Can I change my email on one device but not on another?
A: No. Your TiviMate email is tied to your account, not to individual devices. When you change your email through the website or Companion app, it changes for your entire account across all devices. The next time you log into any device, you'll use the new email.
Q: What's the difference between changing email and changing password?
A: Your email is your username - it's what you use to log in. Your password is your security credential. You can change either independently. If your email has been compromised, change your password immediately. If your email address itself is no longer valid (you no longer have access to it), change your email address. Ideally, do both for maximum security.
Conclusion
Changing your email in TiviMate is straightforward once you know the right steps. Whether you're updating because you've switched email providers, lost access to your old email, or want better security - the process is the same. Use the official website method for the most direct results, use the Companion app if you prefer managing things on your phone, or reach out to support if you've lost access to your current email. Your premium features will stay intact, your playlists will remain unchanged, and you'll be back to streaming within minutes.
Remember the golden rule: don't close your old email immediately after changing it. Give it 30 days just to be safe. And if something doesn't work as expected, TiviMate support is there to help - they deal with email changes every day and can usually resolve issues within 24 hours.
