Feature request

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

User creates an account using a magic link. For some reason user wants to update their email address on the account. At this point there is no way to do it as far as I know

Describe the solution you’d like

It would be great to have an updateEmail method (maybe similar to resetPasswordForEmail) where verification email is sent to a new requested email address. After the new email is verified, the old email is replaced with the new one.

Describe alternatives you’ve considered

At the moment user could change their email directly without confirmation, but this is not ideal, because they might make a mistake, and if they log out, they would loose their access to account, as now their account is associated with wrong email. So magic links are sent to nowhere.

Additional context

Firebase has a similar feature verifyBeforeUpdateEmail().

Hi @edgarasben So regarding customizing the email template, I had a look under Authentication/Templates in the Supabase dashboard and at first it appeared that only “Confirm Signup”, “Reset Password”, “Magic Link” and “Invite User” were customizable but then I looked at the http request made by changing any of these and noticed MAILER_TEMPLATES_EMAIL_CHANGE_CONTENT amongst MAILER_TEMPLATES_MAGIC_LINK_CONTENT and the others from above.

So although it’s not implemented in the Supabase dashboard, the api for it already is in place - just a matter of implementing it in the dashboard I guess - the dashboard isn’t open sourced yet but @kiwicopple mentioned that they’re working on opening it up in future though. I wouldn’t be surprised to see it popup very soon considering the speed at which the Supabase team is building

Thanks for looking into that! Sending templates through API is even more useful in some cases.
