I’m following this [article](https://auth0.com/blog/securing-electron-applications-with-openid-connect-and-oauth-2/) , [repo](https://github.com/auth0-blog/electron-openid-oauth) and things are great so far until I was trying to get user’s email ID. I tried adding “email” scope in the auth-service.js file & tried to retrieve this email id same way username & profile picture fields were done to get in home.js, adding supporting code: ```auto webContents.on('dom-ready', () => { const profile = authService.getProfile(); user_name = document.getElementById('name').innerText = profile.name; user_email = document.getElementById('email').innerText = profile.email; }); ``` but got email-id undefined ☹ Am I missing anything here? please help me out from this @konrad.sopala , @dan.woda & @rueben.tiow Thank you 🙂 ---

Hi @ShubhamMetkar, What are you seeing in the `profile` object? ---

Hello @Moore69 , seems like links haven’t been added in the comment by you. Also it would be great if you could see the repo/article & then provide more specific solution/inputs regarding user email id. Thank you 🙂 ---

@ShubhamMetkar, That appeared to be a spam user, apologies! Can you please share how you are adding the `email` scope to the request? It appears that is the missing piece here. ---

Hello @dan.woda , I’m little surprised as I didn’t change anything in the code but all of sudden since today I started getting the email id in the object which is like this: { given\_name: ‘SHUBHAM’, family\_name: ‘METKAR’, nickname: ‘2018.shubham.metkar’, name: ‘SHUBHAM METKAR’, picture: ‘[https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a-/AOh14GjJKt9jjk2skD6lhwYJw\_OEPAqhm\_KtegpAI8aN=s96-c](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a-/AOh14GjJKt9jjk2skD6lhwYJw_OEPAqhm_KtegpAI8aN=s96-c)’, locale: ‘en’, updated\_at: ‘2022-04-06T08:24:14.308Z’, email: ‘2018.shubham.metkar@ves.ac.in’, email\_verified: true, iss: ‘[https://dev-3vgs7bqd.us.auth0.com/](https://dev-3vgs7bqd.us.auth0.com/)’, sub: ‘google-oauth2|107581881026254675326’, aud: ‘ePEaP1W8vo6qysq98F4vw9DXwVtW0MYU’, iat: 1649416108, exp: 1649452108 } Nevermind, some strange situations in software development😅 I’ll ping you in future if at all I get any error. Thank you for your time 🙂 ---
