Change your primary email address

Identity Engine

Allowing a user to change their primary email is a critical task when they only use their username and email address to sign in to your app. A user must be able to change their email address, especially if it becomes compromised.

Use

Okta .NET management SDK (opens new window)

to update the user's profile information with a new primary email address. Set the user's Profile.Email property to the new email address and then call user.UpdateAsync() to update it on the Okta servers.

using Okta.Sdk;

public async IUser UpdateUserEmail(IUser user, string newEmail)
{
    user.Profile.Email = newEmail;
    return await user.UpdateAsync();
}

Note: The

Okta .NET management SDK (opens new window)

uses the Users API (opens new window) to update the user's profile information.
