ROR – How to update the email of the user when using devise gem?

Last updated on December 26, 2022

If you update the user email address when you are using the device gem, it will be stored in the unconfirmed_email column and it will trigger an email, by asking for confirmation with a confirmation link. If you want to override this behavior you can do that, by calling skip_reconfirmation!.

To skip only the reconfirmation email notification use: skip_confirmation_notification!

To confirm the user manually you can use: confirm.

Example Script

         user = ser.where(:email => params[:email]).first
         user.email = params[:email];
         user.first_name = params[:first_name];
         user.last_name = params[:last_name];
         user.country_code = params[:country_code];
         user.phone_number = params[:phone_number];
         user.date_of_birth = params[:date_of_birth];
         user.skip_reconfirmation!
         user.save
