i’m of the opinion that changing an email address should _always_ include an email verification from the account to ensure it works and the email address is correct.

since this was a test user, the faster way to do it would have been to impersonate the user then change the email address and do the verification. i just did it on a test user and the whole process took less than 10 seconds.
