Add e-mail to Steam-based POE account


Hello! I started playing POE through steam a couple years ago (as best I can recall).

Due to patching speed issues through Steam, I would like to also be able to download the standalone client and log in that way (maintaining the same characters I have had through Steam).

I am sending a support e-mail as I have seen suggested elsewhere, and am posting this via my linked Steam account. I will reference this post in my e-mail as well.

Thank you for your assistance!

You should be able to associate an e-mail account with your PoE account by doing this;
Mouse over Home → click on My Account → click on Manage Account → click on change email

When you've done that, send an e-mail to support@grindinggear.com from that e-mail account.

Your way isn't ideal because someone could see your post, send GGG Support an e-mail and they'd have numerous people claiming the same account, all offering the same 'proof'.

Hey digitalarcana,

Could you please send us a message to our support team here: https://www.pathofexile.com/private-messages/compose/to/Support

with the same request? We'll then be able to assist you further. :)
Thank you for your reply, Sarno. I share the security concern.

I had tried to do that previously, but since I have never played POE outside of Steam, I'm unable to "change e-mail", because it requires your current POE password. (And I have no user/pass at all, due to playing only through steam.)

I've followed up as Melissa_GGG requested, and thanks to you both!
