Hi @Cookiesmudge02,

Unfortunately, if the email address was used as the username, we won’t be able to release it for use again. You will need to choose a different username I’m afraid.
You can still use your email address for contact purposes though.

Hello @froggytori4,

The username is only used for log-in purposes. It’s treated as a plain text field.

You can have several emails with the same contact email though and this is where we contact for any enquiries.

Hi @froggytori4,

 

Setting up a new email address is free, and as it’s only for the purpose of logging in as a username, you can make it something nice and memorable.

Hi @froggytori4,

 

Like @Mohammed said, you can use your preferred email address for us to actually contact you on across several accounts, so you’d never need to even log into the new email account once set up. It would purely act as a username for you iD Mobile account.
