About This Feature
Overview
Link Email is an account security setting in WPS for Mac. It lets you add an email address to your WPS account or replace the email that is already linked. After the email is linked, it can be used to receive verification codes, complete identity checks, and support account recovery and sign-in verification.
Core tasks include:
- Link an email address: add an available email address to the current WPS account.
- Change a linked email address: verify the current email first, then link a new one.
This feature is useful when you are completing account setup for the first time, updating your regular email address, or handling account security verification.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Supports linking an email address or changing a linked email address in account settings. The linked email can be used for verification codes and account security checks. | Microsoft accounts support email verification and also let users add, remove, or update account aliases connected to the account. | Google Account supports adding, changing, or deleting a recovery email for account recovery and security notifications. | Notion lets users add a new email, verify it with a code, and make it the primary email. One account can manage multiple verified email addresses. | Adobe accounts let users change the primary email address. The new email must be verified before the change takes effect, and the primary email is used for sign-in and account notifications. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS keeps the email-linking flow focused in account settings, making it straightforward to bind or replace an email for verification and account security. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft manages email through aliases and verification methods, which offers broader account identity options but is less focused on a direct in-app bind-or-change flow. | Compared with WPS: Google emphasizes recovery email for account recovery and security, rather than an app-centered account email binding flow. | Compared with WPS: Notion supports multiple verified emails and primary-email switching, which fits multi-email workflows; WPS stays more focused on direct account verification and email binding. | Compared with WPS: Adobe centers on changing the primary account email for Adobe ID sign-in, while WPS focuses on linking or replacing the account email from account settings. |
| Official Source | — | Verify an email address in your Microsoft account | Set up recovery options | Account settings and preferences | Change primary email for your Adobe account |
Overall Conclusion: If you want a direct way to link or replace the email address used with your WPS account, WPS provides a focused account-setting flow for that task. Other products also support email management, but they often emphasize aliases, recovery information, or primary account identity management.
