Account Verification

Enabling the Account Verification step in your Authentication journey ensures that only confirmed and activated user accounts can access your application. This feature automatically checks whether an end-user’s account has been verified and activated, preventing unverified or potentially fraudulent accounts from proceeding in the authentication process.

If the user’s account is already activated, the authentication flow continues to the next step. If not, the user is prompted with a screen to verify their account and cannot proceed until the verification process is completed.

Verification can be configured to occur via email, SMS, or Magic Links, depending on your application’s settings. This feature is typically enabled by default or is strongly recommended for all applications to ensure the highest level of security.
