I’m curious about the way the WeWeb/Xano authentication works. After signup it’s basically an authenticated user without verifying email. Is there a way around this? I’m not incredibly fond of this setup but being a noob I’m not entirely certain how to rework the authentication for a little more secure experience.

Hi @ctown,
What type of verification are you looking for? the auth/signup in XANO verifies already existing emails using precondition. What extra layer you would like to achieve?
I am asking because for my email verification process in signup/login, I am considering building a One time access code on top of the user signing or logging in. This would be done mostly in XANO backend.

Hi @ctown
To implement email verification, you would need to use Sendgrid and set up magic links in Xano. You can check this article for more info regarding this: [Xano authentication | WeWeb Documentation](https://docs.weweb.io/plugins/auth-systems/xano-auth.html#forgot-password-with-xano-auth)
