I want when the user’s signup the email_verified : false is returned. But i want the user to recieve a verification OTP on their mail, which they will enter on the auth0 page and then i receives the email_verified = true eveytime when a new user signup. How do I achieve this functionality? I would prefer a detailed process.
Steps to Implement Email Verification with OTP in Auth0:
1. Auth0 Dashboard Configuration:
- Go to Auth0 Dashboard > Rules > Create Rule.
- Choose “Email Verification” template.
- Modify the rule to send OTP instead of a link.
2. Auth0 Rule Code:
function (user, context, callback) {
if (user.email_verified) {
return callback(null, user, context);
}
// Generate OTP and send via email
// You can use Auth0's API or third-party services to send OTP
// Store OTP for later verification
// Redirect user to OTP verification page
context.redirect = {
url: "YOUR_OTP_VERIFICATION_PAGE_URL"
};
return callback(null, user, context);
}
3. OTP Verification Page:
- Create a page to input OTP.
- Use Auth0.js or Auth0 SDK to verify OTP.
4. Verify OTP:
// Use Auth0 API to verify OTP
// If OTP is valid, set `email_verified` to true
5. Finalize Rule:
- After OTP verification, redirect back to the application.
- Update
email_verified
in the user profile.
6. Client-Side:
- After successful login, check
email_verified
in the user’s profile.
7. Server-Side (Optional):
- You can also check
email_verified
server-side for extra security.
8. Done:
- Now,
email_verified
should betrue
for users who have verified their email via OTP.
This is a high-level overview. Each step can have its own complexities depending on your specific requirements.
