Update phone number of Existing User

Update the phone number of an existing end user by sending an OTP code to the new phone number. After successfully verifying the code the new phone number will be used to deliver new OTP messages via Voice. The bearer token requires both the ProjectId and refresh JWT in the format \<Project ID\>:<JWT>, and can therefore only be run for end users who are currently signed-in.

This endpoint will return an empty response object when it completes successfully.

Descope allows you to associating multiple login IDs for a user during API update calls. For details on how this feature works, please review the details here.

Next Steps
