Question

public UserProfile
{
   public string Email{get;set;}
   public string Password{get;set;}
}

I want to change

Answer 1

You have two options for updating email and password separately.

A) Don't use PUT, use POST

B) Create child resources for updating the individual elements, e.g.

PUT /api/user/123/email

And

PUT /api/user/123/password
