Enable email/password sign in and test the flow in your project.

Steps at a glance

1. Open the Data & API tab, then open the Authentication subtab.
2. In the Authentication subtab, open the Settings tab and set Enable email provider to Enabled.
3. Choose your redirect pages for successful sign in and errors.

Notes

• For email verification, password reset, magic links, and OTP emails, use the matching Event Trigger in the Event Triggers section in the Backend Workflows subtab of Data & API.
• In those triggers, WeWeb's built-in backend Send Email action is now the default way to deliver the email.
• If you do not receive emails, check the relevant Event Trigger run and spam folder.
• For a full walkthrough of the native email flow, see Send email using WeWeb →.
