You can change the email address and password and still maintain your associated Apple Card Mastercard. However, the Apple Card Mastercard can never be associated with a different account.


The email address you use for your Apple Account is basically your user name and the password is, well, your password. Both can be changed, but the card/account can never be moved. It’s an antifraud precaution.
