About This Feature
Overview
Link Email in WPS on Windows is an account security setting in the personal center. It lets you bind a commonly used email address, receive verification codes, and update the linked email when needed.
Core tasks include:
- Link an email address: Add an available email address to your WPS account so you can receive verification codes and account verification messages.
- Change the linked email address: Update the email address already linked to your account when your current email changes or needs to be replaced.
This feature is useful for first-time account setup, changing your regular email address, and handling account verification.

| Capability Summary | You can link an email address in the WPS account personal center and change the linked email later for verification codes and account security checks. | Microsoft Office lets users send documents by email as attachments or links through Share, and some apps can send file content in the email body. | Google Drive lets users share files by entering email addresses and assigning viewer, commenter, or editor permissions. | Notion lets users open Share at the top right of a page and invite people by name or email address to access the page. | Adobe Acrobat lets users share PDFs by email and enter recipient email addresses before sending. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS focuses on account security email management in one account-center flow, which fits verification-code delivery and account protection tasks. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft focuses on document sending and collaboration rather than account email binding settings. | Compared with WPS: Google focuses on file sharing permissions rather than account security email management. | Compared with WPS: Notion focuses on page collaboration and guest or member access instead of account email binding. | Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses on sending PDFs by email instead of linking an account email for verification. |

Overall Conclusion
WPS is a practical fit when you need account-level email verification and security notifications on Windows. The official capabilities described by Microsoft, Google, Notion, and Adobe are mainly about sharing documents, files, pages, or PDFs by email rather than managing a linked account email.
