Two days ago, I installed Ubuntu 20.04 first time.
I have a slightly damaged keyboard and when I created the user, I typed the email address wrong.
Is there any possibility to change it? Any ideas?

1Eh. what email? where did you type it? useradd has "Full Name, Phone, Home-Phone, and Other " Generally your login@host can be used as an email. If "Other" was used: see `/etc/passwd` but be careful altering that file :) – Rinzwind Aug 13 '22 at 16:54

email is generally handled in e.g. Thunderbird or any other email client. *In other contexts an email-address might be present, and possibly displayed, but usually not used for anything else.* – Hannu Aug 14 '22 at 12:35
