Locked out due to email typo

Hey everyone,

I made a really unfortunate mistake and I'm hoping someone here might have some advice. When I originally signed up for Appwrite, I accidentally made a typo in my email address (I missed a single letter). Because my password manager saved the login details automatically and I only log in occasionally, I never noticed the typo until now.

Now I can't log into the web dashboard anymore. Every time I try, it sends a verification email to that incorrect address, which I obviously can't access or verify.

The catch is: I currently still have access to my account via the CLI. However, I can't seem to make any changes there (like updating the email or deleting a project).

Has anyone ever dealt with this? Is there any clever CLI trick to force an email update without the verification, or is my only option to contact official support to get the email changed on their end?

Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated!

TL;DR
Developer accidentally entered wrong email address when signing up for Appwrite, now locked out because verification email goes to incorrect address. Can still access account via CLI but can't make changes. Possible solution: contact official support to update email on their end.
