A User Principal Name (UPN) is an attribute that is an internet communication standard for user accounts. A UPN consists of a UPN prefix (the user account name) and a UPN suffix (a DNS domain name). The prefix joins the suffix using the "@" symbol. For example, [email protected]. A UPN must be unique among all security principal objects within a directory forest.

Changing a user's UPN could break the relationship between the Azure AD user and the user profile created on the application. If the application uses [Just in Time provisioning](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/app-provisioning/user-provisioning), it might create a brand-new user profile. This will require the application administrator to make manual changes to fix this relationship.

Once you verify that the new UPN is reflected on the Azure AD Portal, ask the user to select the "Other user" tile to sign in with their new UPN. you can also verify through [PowerShell](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/azuread/get-azureaduser?view=azureadps-2.0).
