Can I transfer my Replit account to someone else?
Can I transfer my Replit account to someone else?
Accounts can’t be transferred directly—an account is tied to the credentials that created it. To hand over a specific project instead, have the new owner create an account. Share the project with them and ask them to fork it into their account. To change the email on your current account, go to Settings → Profile and edit your email. Subscriptions can’t be transferred—the new owner needs their own. For a business account handoff, contact Replit Support.
