Overview
When updating a user’s email address, the following error may occur if the email address is considered not valid:

This article explains how Auth0 validates email addresses.

- Email Validation
Solution
In the particular example above, the validation fails because domain names cannot start or end with a hyphen. Another common reason for failures is the local part of the email exceeding 64 characters.
There is currently no way to customize the validation logic. Please feel free to submit a feature request using the Product Feedback form. More information about this process can be found at How do I submit Product feedback or feature requests?
