How to require email verification

By default, Firebase does not enforce email verification. However, we added support for this feature in the Firebase kit by using server-side checks.

Can I require email verification for my users using the Firebase kit?

Yes - you can.

If you decide to enable this functionality, we will check server-side if the user has verified their email address before allowing them to view the protected pages.

To enable this functionality, you need to set the environment variable NEXT_PUBLIC_REQUIRE_EMAIL_VERIFICATION to true in your .env file.

NEXT_PUBLIC_REQUIRE_EMAIL_VERIFICATION=true

Feel free to add this variable to the chosen environment file (.env.development, .env.production, etc) or to the .env file if you want to enable it for all environments.
