 > non admin users shouldn't be able to change databases

 Users need to log in and have sufficient capabilities to change the email
 address, but [https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-
 develop/blob/6a0e4aa570b6b9e7ce6d630b8d92e2f5091aac6b/src/wp-
 admin/includes/upgrade.php#L2171 resetting the 'admin_email_lifespan'
 option] might be an acceptable database change. Then the next admin user
 to log in should get a prompt to replace the email.
