Security Idea? - C Doubt - May 23, 2016

Maybe when switching email's you have to confirm the switch via your old email.

Might be a problem if you lose access to the old email
if you switch emails does it send a message to the old one indicating that a switch occurred?

not a good idea since the most popular reason to change your email is, because you lost access to it.

Just checked my old email and it looks like you don't get a email about that.
