• To change your email or password, you must confirm it using TOTP. If you don't have 2FA enabled (token code or email), TOTP will require the current password method.

• If you add the currentPassword encrypted in SHA256 to the payload, the request won't require TOTP again.

• Before saving custom fields, you must define them in workspace admin settings.
