## About unlinking your email address

Since an email address can only be associated with a single {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} account, when you've lost your 2FA credentials and are unable to recover access, unlinking your email address from the locked account allows you to link that email address to a new or existing account. Additionally, linking a previously used commit email address to a new account will connect your commit history to that account. Unless you have chosen to keep your email address private, your account's commit email address is the same as your account's primary email address. See [AUTOTITLE](/account-and-profile/setting-up-and-managing-your-personal-account-on-github/managing-email-preferences/setting-your-commit-email-address).

## About management of multiple accounts

In some cases, you may need to use multiple accounts on {% data variables.product.github %}. For example, you may have a personal account for open source contributions, and your employer may also create and manage a user account for you within an enterprise.

To learn how to manage multiple accounts, see [AUTOTITLE](/free-pro-team@latest/account-and-profile/how-tos/setting-up-and-managing-your-personal-account-on-github/managing-your-personal-account/managing-multiple-accounts).
