Your noreply email address

Your noreply email address format depends on when you created your account and your email privacy settings:

• If you created your account after July 18, 2017, your noreply email address is an ID number and your username in the form of ID+USERNAME@users.noreply.github.com.
• If you created your account prior to July 18, 2017, and enabled Keep my email address private before that date, your noreply email address is USERNAME@users.noreply.github.com.
• To get an ID-based noreply email address, select (or deselect and reselect) Keep my email address private in your email settings. If you use your noreply email address for {% data variables.product.github %} to make commits and then change your username, those commits will not be associated with your account. This does not apply if you're using the ID-based noreply address from {% data variables.product.github %}. For more information, see AUTOTITLE.{% endif %}
