| Enforce Verification before Communication Medium Change | Nowadays it is usual to carry out a verification before updating the email or mobile number. This ensures that the newly entered number also belongs to the user. It is thus directly verified and prevents typing errors, for example |
| Administrative Communication Medium Change via Link | Administrators can initiate communication medium changes for users through a secure link-based verification process. This allows support teams to help users update their contact information while maintaining security through user confirmation. |
