📄 Description

Summary by cubic

Refactored the change email flow to optionally require confirmation from the old email, then verification on the new email before updating the account and session. By default, verification is sent to the new email; enabling confirmation adds a second step and ensures the session reflects the final, verified email.

  • Refactors

    • Email verification tokens include requestType; verifyEmail handles change-email-confirmation and change-email-verification.
    • changeEmail sends confirmation to the old email when configured, otherwise verifies the new email; updates email and emailVerified only after verification and refreshes the session cookie.
    • Added updateEmailWithoutVerification option for unverified users (optional direct update).

  • Migration

    • Use user.changeEmail.sendChangeEmailConfirmation (sendChangeEmailVerification is deprecated).
    • Configure emailVerification.sendVerificationEmail to send the verification to the new email.
    • Optionally enable user.changeEmail.updateEmailWithoutVerification for unverified users.

Written for commit 1fd3de61ec. Summary will update automatically on new commits.
