Elaine Krauss commented: There is functionality on our API that already handles this sufficiently. I was able to prove that this works by changing my email on [Login.gov|http://Login.gov] (steps below). After logging in, my changed email was reflected in the Manage Users table.

Steps for changing your email on [Login.gov|http://Login.gov]

• Log in to [Login.gov|http://Login.gov] directly
• Go to the Account Management page

• “Add new email” (I used a personal address to demo this)
• Confirm your new email address

While you have multiple email addresses registered to your account, you can log in with any of them (and your usual password), and our API will seamlessly switch your account’s email to whatever email you used to log in.
