Hi Figma Team,

I'm experiencing an issue while trying to change the email address associated with my Figma account.

Current email: (redacted by the moderator due to PII)
New email: (redacted by the moderator due to PII)

When I request an email change, I successfully receive the verification email at my new email address. However, every time I click the "Verify Email" button, Figma redirects me to a page displaying the following error:

"Sorry, your link has expired or is malformed."

I have already tried the following:

β€’ Requested multiple new verification emails.
β€’ Used only the latest verification email.
β€’ Opened the verification email immediately after receiving it.
β€’ Tried Chrome, Safari, and Incognito mode.
β€’ Copied and pasted the verification link directly into the browser.
β€’ Cleared browser cache and cookies.
β€’ Logged out and logged back into my Figma account.
β€’ Confirmed that the verification emails are being delivered successfully.

Unfortunately, every newly generated verification link results in the same error.

Additional Information:
- New email domain: Google Workspace (redacted by the moderator due to PII)
- Existing Figma account is active and accessible.
- Screenshot of the error has been attached.

Could someone please help investigate this issue or manually verify/update my account email?

I'd appreciate any guidance or assistance.

Thank you!
