Seconding this for a similar use case, updating a user’s email.

Sometimes a user changes their email (and lets the community know in various ways - e.g. over social media channels) but forgets to update it in their Discourse profile. As a helpful admin, I can change the email in their Public Profile → Preferences but Discourse will still email the old address until the new one is confirmed.

A secondary problem here is that [there is no UI indication that the email address was changed](https://meta.discourse.org/t/no-ui-indication-that-a-users-email-was-changed-and-is-pending-verification/39663) and different admins won’t know that one of them had already started the process of changing the user’s email address.
