SP acccounts

Post by thomsos » Thu Oct 27, 2016 9:16 am

I have 2 accounts on SP, different email addresses, if I make them both the same email address, will it merge my save searches and images into one account?

Thank you
Sandra

Hello Sandra,

See https://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/tech ... logging-in

If you had more than one account on the old ScotlandsPeople site
In the new website an email address can only be used with one account. You have two options: you can keep your accounts separate (each with a separate email address) or merge your accounts (to consolidate them under one email address).

Keeping accounts separate
You can have more than one account, as long as each account has a separate email address.

Merging accounts
If you have several accounts, you can merge these into one acount. 
If you want to merge several accounts, here's what to do:
log in to your main account using the steps for logging in with one account (above),
then, once you have successfully confirmed this account (following our confirmation email), contact us, provide your new account details and details (usernames and email addresses) of your other accounts that you'd like us to merge.


I haven't tried it myself,
Alan
