Asked by kelseybarmettler
When setting up the SSL cert, I provided an email address for lost key recovery and notices, but now I’d like to change that email. What’s the command for doing so? Can I update multiple SSL certs at once? Thanks!

(Having numerous accounts is fine.)
I’m not sure what you mean. The email address is associated with each account, not each certificate.
