supabase
Unable to update user email
Bug report
- [ x] I confirm this is a bug with Supabase, not with my own application.
- [x ] I confirm I have searched the Docs, GitHub Discussions, and Discord.
Describe the bug
Unable to update a user's email if they have an outstanding email change request already.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior, please provide code snippets or a repository:
- Create a user using a provider other than email (i.e. signInWithOtp())
- Add an email to the same user using "supabase.auth.updateUser({ email: emailToVerify })"
- Before confirming this email, attempt the change the email of this user by calling again "supabase.auth.updateUser({ email: emailToVerify })" but with a different value of emailToVerify
- Will get an error "duplicate key value violates unique constraint 'identities_pkey'"
Expected behavior
If a user accidentally enters an incorrect email on their first attempt, they will want to update to the correct email. But there is no way to change the email unless the original email entered is confirmed, which may be impossible if the user made a typo. Therefore if a user enters an incorrect email on their first attempt, the only way to resolve the issue is through an admin account.
