Bug Description

Problem

After changing my primary email address in GitHub, Hoppscotch continues to show my old email address in the profile.

I have done the following steps:

Set the new email as primary, verified, and public in GitHub
Removed the old email as primary (but kept it as a secondary)
Revoked Hoppscotch's OAuth access in GitHub
Logged in again via GitHub

Still, Hoppscotch displays the old email address in my profile.

GitHub API Findings

I made a call to https://api.github.com/user/emails and confirmed that:

The correct new email is listed with "primary": true, "verified": true, and "visibility": "public"
However, it is the last email in the array
The email shown by Hoppscotch is the second one, which was previously my primary email

➡️ This strongly suggests that Hoppscotch selects the email based on index (e.g. emails[1]) or uses a cached email, instead of selecting the email object where primary === true.

Additional Bug: Manual email change fails

When I try to manually update the email from my Hoppscotch profile:

A GitHub Authentication popup appears
After completing authentication, I get the error:
"Something went wrong"
The email is not updated

Expected Behavior

Hoppscotch should retrieve and display the primary email from the GitHub /user/emails response
If manual update is allowed, it should complete successfully or show a meaningful error

Suggested Fix

Update the logic to select email by checking primary === true
Allow manual update of email (or make it editable if it's only used for display)
Optionally, add a "Refresh from GitHub" button to force sync profile data

Thanks!

Let me know if I can help test anything further — this issue affects GitHub-authenticated users who change their email.

@evenkov Thank you for the detailed explanation, can you confirm that the new email you are setting is not related to any other active account previously created in hoppscotch.

With regarding email not showing the updated GitHub email, this is expected since we have account linked to each email and provider id, you can update the email from profile page just that as I mentioned above the new email should not be not be linked with any other account in hoppscotch.

We have a PR opened to add proper error message if the the request fail, thank you for bringing this up

Yes, I can confirm that the new email address is not used previous in any hoppscotch account. This is a completely new email address of mine that I'm gradually starting to use for work.
As I described above - I was tried to update my email address manually from my profile, but there raise an error with message Something went wrong
