# Confirm a new email

`PUT /v0/users/{user}/email`

## Request

- The document declares no server URL.
- Auth: none declared

Change a user's email to the new email that a confirm link was sent to. A user who updates their own email is sent that link at the new email, and its token lasts as long as a login link's. No credential is needed, so the link works from any device. Any later update to the user ends the link, this confirm included. The response holds a new session for the new email. An invalid or expired token is refused with `401 Unauthorized`; a token for another user, or one sent before the user's latest update, with `403 Forbidden`; and a new email that another user has taken since with `409 Conflict`.
