[feature] Email change mechanism

[benjaminbhollon]

Is your feature request related to a problem ?

I've had multiple requests from members of my instance to change the email addresses attached to their accounts, but I don't see any way of doing so.

Describe the solution you'd like.

Ideally, they could change it themselves through the settings portal, perhaps with an email verification mechanism.

Describe alternatives you've considered.

I'd be fine if it requires the admin CLI to change emails; I don't anticipate it being a frequent request and doing it manually likely wouldn't take too much time/effort.

Additional context.

Good feature request! I actually completely forgot we hadn't implemented this yet. We'll try to do it for 0.14.0 probably (we're just polishing things off for 0.13.0 now).

In the meantime I believe you can safely do it manually in the database by doing something like this:

UPDATE users SET email='new_email_address' WHERE email='old_email_address';

And then restarting your instance.

A bit of a hack, but it's there if you need it!

I'll consider doing that, thanks. Glad to hear a polished version will come soon! And that the new release is upcoming. ;)

Hmm. Gonna push this back again to 0.16.0; I'm doing a lot of work on the sign-up flow for that version, and email confirmation / change can be part of that bundle of work.

Makes sense. ;)
