Howdy All,

I set up a new Discourse today with Communiteq. I used my Protonmail for the master Admin account, not realizing that it didn’t work with Protonmail. Now I can’t change my email to something else because it is sending an email to Protonmail to confirm, I’m basically locked out of other important functions, like granting admin rights for someone else, due to emails going to my Protonmail.

Does anyone know of a way I can fix this? I’m only mildly IT literate, but I follow instructions well. Sorry also if this has been posted before, I tried searching for a bit to self-help before coming up empty, but those searches are where I discovered the Protonmail issue.

Thanks very much for any help!!!

v/r

Chris
