web_edit_user_form Shortcode
The web_edit_user_form shortcode displays a profile-completion form for an existing personal activation link. It shares its rendering and submission handling with the dynamic Edit User Form block. Adding it does not issue activation links or provide a general account editor.
The attributes below match the current Page Builder controls and public output. Use raw syntax only for reviewed content that cannot be maintained through the visual controls.

Behavior and limits
The account holder can edit first name, surname, email and an optional new password. Empty names are allowed. Email must be valid and available. Leave the password empty to preserve it, or enter at least 12 characters. Username and role are not editable. Each successful activation link is single-use. The current site must contain the account on multisite; an unrelated signed-in account cannot use its link.
Exclude this page from all full-page caches and CDNs. Invalid, expired and used links show feedback without editable account data. Multiple forms have separate field IDs. The shortcode continues working with the Legacy Page Builder interface disabled.
Verification
Review missing/invalid links and successful updates using the site's activation workflow. If enabled, check welcome delivery separately from preview. See Complete a profile with Edit User Form for the safe editor samples and troubleshooting.
