email confirmation error

When trying to change my email address in gerrit, a verification email is sent to the new email. When clicking the link to finish the action, I get an error (see attachment):

> Error 422 (Unprocessable Entity): invalid token
> 
> Endpoint: /r/config/server/email.confirm

I was able to change the primary email of the eclipse account without problems. Now I'd like to do the same with the gerrit account, but it seems broken. Am I missing something?

Gerrit is driven by the same authentication store as accounts.eclipse.org so once you've updated your address at accounts.eclipse.org Gerrit should figure it out(timing depends on cache and load)eventually.

There isn't a way for us to remove the feature from Gerrits UI without editing the source code, but we were able to disable it(hence the confirmation error).
