Update user

Update user

Wraps Stytch's update user endpoint. Use this method to change the user's name, untrusted metadata, and attributes.

You can listen for successful user updates anywhere in the codebase with the stytch.user.onChange() method or useStytchUser() hook.

Note: If a user has enrolled another MFA method, this method will require MFA. See the Multi-factor authentication section for more details.
