My ISP was sold to another ISP, so my email address has changed. How do I get the email address associated with my Passkey changed to my new email address?

I've passed this question along to the stats team. We may need to create a new web page for this scenario.

Thanks!

I am in the same boat , should I just get a new passkey with the new e-mail address , or is there a way to change the address only ?
( I couldn't find an answer searching. )
Should probably add the answer to the Stanford page here:

One more question:
I have multiple Nics on multiple teams , can I use the same passkey for all. One passkey for one e-mail address ?

There may be some good reasons to use a passkey that referres to an active e-mail account, but you can also continue to use the same passkey. A very important part of the passkey system is that you'll be able to remember the email address and your FAH name -- even if it's an address that you no longer have access to.

FAH may develop some reasons in the future but perhaps there will be better ways to change the email portion of your passkey at that time.

I wouldn't.

, or is there a way to change the address only ?

No.

One passkey across multiple NICs and across multiple teams is just fine.

That's a definite yes on the last part. There needs to be a way to maintain access, even if email addresses change. But great care must be taken to make this work.

Thank you Bruce !
I had gotten one new one with My current e-mail address today , at least FAH can contact me. I'll use that same one next time I switch to my other Nic/teams .

Since I've started folding again on my quad core I realized that 1, I don't have my original passkey and 2, I don't have that email any longer.

is there a way to get my original passkey? If I request one, it never comes through and I'll assume it's being sent to my original email address.

Help!
