Describe the bug
It is not recommended for users to be able to change their account emails in the same manner they can change their first-name and last-name.

Security Implications:

  • Email addresses are often used as primary identifiers for user accounts. Allowing users to change their email addresses easily could compromise account security and make it easier for malicious actors to gain unauthorized access.

Verification Process:

  • Changing an email address should involve a verification process to ensure that the user has control over the new email address. This process should include sending a verification email or code to the new address. This additional step helps prevent unauthorized changes.

Data Integrity:

  • Email addresses are often used to link other user data, such as purchase history, preferences, and account settings. Allowing users to change their email addresses easily could make it difficult to maintain data integrity and prevent inconsistencies.

Expected behavior
Users should only be able to change other fields on their profile easily except their email addresses.
