# Set the primary email address

Points the account at one of its verified addresses and returns every address on the account. Account mail, the Gravatar avatar, and sign-in follow it. The previous primary stays on the account as an ordinary verified address, and both addresses are notified of the change. Requires a recent identity confirmation.

## API Endpoint

`POST /v1/auth/emails/{emailId}/primary`

## Authorization

`__Host-better-auth.session_token` API key · cookierequired

Dashboard session cookie set at sign-in. An operation that lists only this scheme needs a person: API keys and machine credentials are refused. The same session token also works as `Authorization: Bearer`.

## Path parameters

`emailId` string required
