How to change email address on aprs.fi

[Heikki Hannikainen]

I've just upgraded the software on aprs.fi to bring in a new feature which
has seriously been missing for a silly long time. It has been asked quite
a few times, and for a good reason.

In the Account view on the web site, you can now add up to three email
addresses to an user account, promote a new address to be the primary
email address, and to delete non-primary addresses.

How to change from an old address to a new address?
-----------------------------------------------------

1. Go to https://aprs.fi/account/ (log in if necessary)
2. Tap the Email -> Add button, enter new email address
3. Wait for the confirmation email to arrive at the new address
4. Look in the spam / junk folder if it doesn't arrive
5. Click on the link to confirm the address
6. Go to https://aprs.fi/account/ - click Email -> Change
7. On the new address, click "make primary"
8. On the old address, which is no longer the primary, click "delete"

The additional emails also work as backup account recovery addresses - you
can perform the "forgot my password" dance with them, if you loose access
to the primary address. But only if have already verified them by clicking
on the link in the verification email! It's a good idea to always have an
extra address attached to the account, just in case.

- You can use any of the verified emails to log in.
- Only a verified email address can be used to log in.
- Only a verified email can be promoted to be the primary email.
- Non-verified additional addresses will be deleted after 7 days
(or by clicking "Delete").


I'm sorry it took so long! But, better late than never?
