Did they offer some kind of verification path?

So you could only allow an email change if the user proved they owned the new email account by clicking a link or entering a code sent to that account?

Seems like a natural option.

Of course, allowing you to disallow email changes seems pretty reasonable too.



The issue if I remember correctly was that you could require the email to be verified. But while that verification was pending, it would already use the new email as the user’s asserted attribute.
