How to set your Recovery Email

At KnownHost, we provide the ability to recover your account to an alternative email in the event something happens to your primary email address. These things could be like:

  • Expired Domain
  • Domain is on a server that’s down.
  • Unreachable mailbox
  • Compromised address

This recovery email will be used to login to your account. How it works is when you use the “Reset My Password” function, it sends a copy of the email to the primary address to the secondary address too, so that you could reset your password and then use your primary email to login.
