Overview

Currently user is not allowed to update e-mail or phone details from profile page. This design talks about, how user can change his existing e-mail or phone number.

Solution

  • Once user is logged in he will be able to see the edit button against e-mail or phone.
  • Once clicked user will be redirected to screen to enter new e-mail or phone and verify the data.
  • Here user will enter and click generate OTP, on which user will be redirected to enter OTP form.
  • User will enter OTP and click verify
  • On successful verification user data will be updated through update User API
  • If verification fails, user will be redirected to profile page, without changing the data.

Other points to consider

  • Data will only be updated on successful OTP verification.
  • OTP will expire as per configuration done (which is currently applicable to user sign-up)
  • OTP throttling will be as per configuration done (which is currently applicable to user sign-up)
  • No new API needs to be developed to support this feature.

Usage of existing API

  • POST /v1/otp/generate - will be called when user is on modify e-mail/phone page.
  • POST /v1/otp/verify - will be called when user is on screen to verify e-mail/phone update.
  • PATCH /v1/user/update - will be called for finally updating the user once verification is done.
