# Updates the account with the specified id.

`PUT /accounts/{accountId}`

Updates the account with the specified id.
Does not update the external account of the user.
Use the 'accounts/connectToSocialAccount' or 'accounts/disconnectToSocialAccount' endpoints instead.
If the email of the account is changed, the email will not be changed immediately but a verification email will be sent to the new email address.
The email will only be changed after the user has verified the new email address.
