I have an account page for all my users, however i'm running into a small issue with being able to update passwords / emails on the frontend. Any advice on how to do this? I read that updating either of those fields would require checking and verifying the change in your email.

Thanks

  • Would you mind using PHP?

  • I don't mind using PHP, craft just has terrible documentation and almost every article i find is using craft v2.

A user changing sensitive fields like passwords and email addresses requires a "elevated session" to do so, which requires them to enter their current password.

You can see the template code to do that here for both Craft 2 and 3: https://craftcms.stackexchange.com/a/4715/57

You can configure the duration of the elevated session with the elevatedSessionDuration config setting.

  • Guessing you've got user email validation enabled. If your email settings are setup correctly an email should get sent to the new email address. Once that is clicked, the email address will change for the user.

  • Under Settings->Email in the Control Panel. See craftcms.com/support/why-doesnt-craft-send-emails and craftcms.com/support/…
