Originally created by @jasongerbes on GitHub (Dec 14, 2024).

Describe the bug
The auth.api.changeEmail() method requires options.user.changeEmail.sendChangeEmailVerification() to be set so that an email verification email containing a unique token can be sent to the new email address.

However, the sendChangeEmailVerification() method does not support OTP-based verification - making the changeEmail() method incompatible with the Email OTP plugin.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Set up Email OTP with options.emailOTP.sendVerificationOTP() for sending email verification emails.
  2. Set user.changeEmail.enabled to true.
  3. Call auth.api.changeEmail().
  4. See error "Verification email isn't enabled."

Expected behavior
The auth.api.changeEmail() method should support sending OTP-based verification emails via the Email OTP plugin.

Hi I encountered the same issue. When I set overrideDefaultEmailVerification: true, I still cannot change the email address that has been verified: 400 BAD_REQUEST

{
    "code": "VERIFICATION_EMAIL_ISNT_ENABLED",
    "message": "Verification email isn't enabled"
}

It seems that plugins.emailOTP.overrideDefaultEmailVerification does not override user.changeEmail.sendChangeEmailVerification and user.deleteUser.sendDeleteAccountVerification
