Having an issue with logging in on alternate browsers due to email isn’t verified. Would it be okay to export the database, manually make the change and then re-import it? Or could I connect to the database from a program on my computer to make the changes?
Yes. You can use an existing SMTP server (gmail [legacy app mode], yahoo, microsoft, etc). One thing to keep in mind – if you decide to go that route don’t use your personal account because the address might be exposed in the mail headers. Create a dedicated account and use that instead.

email: { smtp_server: "smtp.example.tld:[port]" # port 25, port 587, etc smtp_login: "username" smtp_password: "password" smtp_from_address: "[email protected]" # or [email protected] tls_type: "tls" # or starttls }
