Hi! I want to enforce email verification before signup. I have used a rule as suggested [here](https://auth0.com/rules/email-verified).

However, it’s unclear how to tell the user in the Universal Login window that they need to verify their email before logging in. I also cannot get the Universal login to show a flash error if the user is not verified.

Here’s the code I added to the login customization script in my dashboard:

```
lock.on("authorization_error", function(error) {
              lock.show({
                loginAfterSignUp: false,
                flashMessage:{
                  type: 'error',
                  text: error.error_description
                }
              });
            })

```

This does not fire; it only redirects the user to the login screen again without an error. I want to keep the user in the UI window rather than redirecting to a page in my application. How can I accomplish this?
