Hello,

When a user signup, it automatically authenticates him by executing the login script.

Is it possible to prevent that ? I would like to prevent login as long as the user does not validate his email.

Thanks a lot

Hey @walim.masmoudi !

The easiest way to go about this is to use an Action to block logins without a verified email:

Thank you for your response.

It it possible to do it with a custom database ? Because i need to call an api endpoint to know if the user has verified his email.

I have followed this blog post here: and seem to have everything looking good. On top of that when I run the test it says the action was successful. The only problem is that my API is not being called at all even though I have triple checked that the URL is correct.
