# Start updating the current email address

Updates the user's email address. The user will receive an email with a one-time password (OTP) to verify the new email address. In order to finish the process, the user must provide the OTP to the _/zephr/users/update-email/{otp}_ endpoint. The difference between this endpoint and the _/blaize/users/update-email_ endpoint is that this endpoint requires the extra layer of authentication through the required validator.
