Problem with custom signup Invalid credentials on Login.

Hi @kapa.ai , I'm using the function "import { signup } from 'wasp/client/auth';" to register the user with email and password. The registration is successful but when I try to enter with the email and password used during login it tells me "Invalid Credentials" even though the user has been correctly registered. The only way to access is by resetting the password. The only thing I changed is the reference to clientRoute in emailVerification in Main.wasp. Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks!

Hi @mario.p. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- It sounds like you're experiencing an issue with email authentication in your Wasp application. Based on the information provided, there are a few potential causes for the "Invalid Credentials" error after signup. The Issue When using email authentication in Wasp, by default, users need to verify their email before they can log in. This is likely why you're able to register successfully but can't log in until you reset your password (which might be bypassing the verification requirement). Possible Solutions 1. Email Verification Requirement: By default, Wasp requires email verification before allowing login. You can temporarily bypass this in development by adding this to your .env.server file:

   SKIP_EMAIL_VERIFICATION_IN_DEV=true

   SKIP_EMAIL_VERIFICATION_IN_DEV=true

This is useful during development to avoid going through the verification flow each time Email Verification Flow. 2. Signup and Login Flow: When using the signup() function, it's important to understand that it doesn't automatically log the user in. You need to call login() separately after signup. This is mentioned in the documentation Username & Password Auth. Here's the correct pattern:

   async function handleSubmit(event) {
     event.preventDefault()
     try {
       await signup({
         email: email,
         password: password,
       })
       await login(email, password)
       // Redirect after successful login
     } catch (error) {
       setError(error)
     }
   }

   async function handleSubmit(event) {
     event.preventDefault()
     try {
       await signup({
         email: email,
         password: password,
       })
       await login(email, password)
       // Redirect after successful login
     } catch (error) {
       setError(error)
     }
   }

3. Check Your Email Verification Setup: Since you mentioned changing the clientRoute in emailVerification, make sure your email verification route is properly set up and that users can successfully verify their email addresses. 4. Custom Signup Action: If you're using a custom signup action, ensure it's correctly setting up the user's email verification status. Next Steps 1. Check if your users' emails are being marked as verified in the database 2. Ensure your email verification flow is working correctly 3. Consider using the development bypass mentioned above during testing 4. Make sure you're calling both signup() and login() in your signup form handler If you continue to have issues, you might want to check your database to see if the user's email verification status is correctly set. Let me know if any of these suggestions help resolve your issue! ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ---------------------- Sorry @mario.p, I seem to be having a bit of trouble. Don't worry though, I've pinged my support and they will try to fix me up! :technologist: Perhaps try again in 15mins?

Unfortunately the suggestions didn't help me. I investigated and noticed that to verify the email, the page uses this component "{ VerifyEmailForm } from 'wasp/client/auth';" which calls a function to activate the user. I forgot that we are working on a SPA and not an SSR 😄 Thanks anyway, @kapa.ai !
