One Tech Tip: Got an awkward or embarrassing Gmail address? Google is now letting users change it - AP News

Google is now allowing Gmail users to change their email addresses, addressing a long-standing limitation that forced people to keep potentially embarrassing or outdated usernames. Previously, Gmail offered no native way to alter the address associated with an account, leaving users stuck with early choices they may have regretted. The change lets people rebrand without losing their existing account, messages, or associated data. This is particularly useful for professionals concerned about unprofessional handles or anyone whose email address no longer reflects their identity. Google has not disclosed specific limits on how often users can change their address or whether there are any restrictions on the feature.
