Hello, Is there a way to resend the verification email? I have a number of users that didn’t receive their email verification when signing-up. They checked their junk folder and didn’t find it. I guess this happens sometimes. I don’t want them to get stuck so I want to provide an option for them to resend the verification email. The only option I found is to reset their password so it will send another email but is not the best solution as some of them don’t really want to use a different password. Is there a way to just resend the verification email? Thanks, Marco ---

I had a similar issue in that I wanted users to be able to reset their password, but Thunkable does not have a block for reset password. I discovered you can use the WebAPI block to call all sorts of Firebase commands. The example below resets the password (which is what I wanted, but not exactly what you want). Check out the Firebase documentation for the WebAPI commands [Firebase Auth REST API](https://firebase.google.com/docs/reference/rest/auth#section-send-email-verification) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/b/f/bf543dfcb924da879fb6db5bb4625412a590d247.png) ---

Thunkable has reset password option in the signIn block. ![reset password](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/9/6/967ad37b3552de6fa196281e1a4ab0a2f82e0eb4.png) ---

Yes, use the blocks I listed above and modify the using the instructions at [https://firebase.google.com/docs/reference/rest/auth#section-send-email-verification](https://firebase.google.com/docs/reference/rest/auth#section-send-email-verification) ---

Hi Have others have been able to use the Web API successfully to send an email verification? I have used @drted’s blocks as a base and the Firebase instructions but I get an error 400 (Invalid ID token). For the ID token I have used the userid returned from the firebase login block. I do not know what else to use to make this work. My blocks are attached (I have removed my firebase API key). Can anyone help? ![screenshot - verification](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/e/1/e1f338f34f50f1d887c4ff3d947b75f851665f81.png) ---

I have still not been able to solve this problem (see my message above). If it is not possible to re-send a verification email within Thunkable using DrTed’s method, is there a way for me to re-send a verification email within Firebase itself? I see some references in the Firebase documentation to using a CLI to do this, but I have no idea at all how to do this. Please help! I receive a few requests from users about not receiving a verification email and I am not able to help them apart from asking them to try setting up a new account. Thanks. ---

I’m able to resend verification form my Thunkable app using a webapi. I’ll post it here soon when I get to my laptop. ---

Here’s the code I use to Resend Verification Email 1. You need to get the user’s userIDToken first. [https://identitytoolkit.googleapis.com/v1/accounts:signInWithPassword?key=[firebaseKey]](https://identitytoolkit.googleapis.com/v1/accounts:signInWithPassword?key=%5BfirebaseKey%5D) 2. Then call the WebAPI post to resend the verification email.

I use this block and it works all the time without any `Web API` calls. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/d/e/de98ff57ba0e9bdd657fe777c428602c30e7b171.png) The `Reset Password` block will send an email to the email address which can be used in place of the verification email if required. ---

light switch moment! How did we overlook this issue? Now reading this I feel I may have seen this before. If this works, we should call this closed and I’ll add it to the documentation for Firebase! ---

But reset password is a very different use case than resend verification email. Users don’t want to change their password especially if they just signed-up. ---

There is enough room in the `reset password` command to give your own customized URL or use a customized email template for this task. **[Edit]** Just reading further, I got this ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/9/6/96194694206ca0b655c0a0aa52f6577dbfa0612f.png) In any case, if you want to continue using the API then you need to move to `Google Cloud Platform` to avoid the discontinuation of such API any time in the future as said in the documentation. > **[Migrate from Google Identity Toolkit to Google Cloud's Identity Platform...](https://developers.google.com/identity/toolkit/migrate-identityplatform)** ---

I had a question about the Google Cloud Platform migration - will @maptheunknown’s Web API solution for re-sending email verification stop working as a result of this migration? I don’t want to include it in my app if it may stop working at some point. [Next page](https://community.thunkable.com/t/how-to-resend-verification-email/859174.md?page=2)
