> You probably customized that email before we changed the link. Please go to /admin/customize/email\_templates/user\_notifications.confirm\_new\_email and make sure that link in there looks like %{base\_url}/u/confirm-new-email/%{email\_token} instead of %{base\_url}/u/authorize-email/%{email\_token} It might be a good idea to add a migration after all. This came up multiple times already. cc @sam
