Infinite loop in passwordless authentication via email

Help

When inputting the OTP during sign-up after receiving it via email, every time I got redirected to a new link, causing an infinite loop. Before this, I used normal login with email and password and it worked okay. Is there another way to force email confirmation before user can sign up? I tried using actions, but because login seems to happen right after user registration, the if event.user.verified_email == false will execute each time. Thanks in advance for any help on the topic.

Hi @sara72,

You can use a Post-Login action script to deny users access until they have verified their email. Or, if you prefer, you can use a redirect to log the users out (/v2/logout endpoint) so that they have to provide their credentials again to log in.

For example:

exports.onExecutePostLogin = async (event, api) => {
  if (!event.user. email_verified) {
    api.access.deny(`Please verify your email address before continuing.`);
  }
};

Or

exports.onExecutePostLogin = async (event, api) => {
  if (!event.user. email_ver ) {
    api.redirect.sendUserTo("https://YOUR_DOMAIN/v2/logout?redirectTo=LOGIN_PAGE_URL")
  }
};

(Reference: Login Trigger)

If you continue having infinite loop issues, I recommend reviewing your Auth0 Logs to determine what events might be causing this problem.

Thanks,
