I wrote a guide up on how to change your parental controls that would of helped here. Can't seem to find it so I get to write one just for you
0) Make sure you are logged out of game.
1) Decide what you want your email address to be
Possibly the hardest bit.
2) Log on to
http://battle.net
This should redirect to your local battle.net either us.battle.net , eu.battle.net or w/e else for the parts of the world not covered by those 2 domains (I think theres a korean and chinese one as well)
3) Under "My Profile" there will be a Change E-mail Address in blue text
https://us.battle.net/account/manage...nge-email.html
Is the direct link.
Fill it out with your old email , new one , password and answer to your secret question.
4) You'll get an email on the new email address and the old email address.
Basically confirmation emails
5) Click the confirmation links in your email and it's changed.
Once you've done all this it will be changed on the forums and in game pretty much instantly.
I had to do this about a week back when testing how the Parental Controls would work with changing your email. It literally took about 2-3 minutes each time to change it over. I changed it to a different email and back again.
It's a feature of battle.net that doesn't get advetised often enough IMHO.
There doesn't appear to be anything prominent about it on Blizzard's security site (
https://us.battle.net/security/help.html)
This little feature means it's possible given the right equipment and software to change your login details several times per day without any assistance from Blizzard. I've not tested it but in theory if you were running your own mail server you can auto-generate a list of 24 random email addresses that you don't use again and change your login name .... by the hour.
Not sure if this would raise any flags with Blizzard but there you go
