Whether a contact has a new email address or prefers to use a different one than what is currently being used, changing a contact's email is simple; however, it is important to keep in mind that changing an email address within their contact profile does not change the contact's portal username/login.
The contact will still be required to use the old email address to log into their portal. If the contact attempts to log in to the event portal using the new email, they will receive the following error message
How to Change the Portal Username
