I'm quite a noobie at Firebase. I'm asking for a sort of step by step guide to setup email verification.
Currently, my app uses basic email password login. I want users to be verified so I'm hiding content based on a user's emailVerified property. I'm calling the .sendEmailVerification() and it sends to the current user's email but, whenever I click the link in the email it says the link has expired or someone has used it, this also doesn't change the property. I suspect it has something to do with the api manager. I currently have my website hosted to the built-in Firebase hosting URL.
Based on this link in the docs (which refers to a similar function but not the exact one): https://firebase.google.com/docs/reference/js/firebase.auth.Auth#sendPasswordResetEmail
p.s. I can't find anything regarding this exact function in the docs.
I think I need some sort of listener at the link of the email or on my website?
Thanks in advance, any answers are appreciated.
there could be an issue with your browser api key. You may have some referrer restrictions on it. This could cause the misleading error (code expired or used) to occur. Either fix that issue or generate a new one in the Google console.

My issue is that I’m trying to parse my deep link for information to then change a users password. When I send the password reset email I included the users email address within the deep link parameter, however is there a specific way to parse this using FDL library once the link is opened in app? For security purposes there must be a way to verify the generated action code in the deep link to verify the link is legitimate aswell? I know that the fire base docs touch on this for web applications, but it doesn’t go into specifics for IOS.
Best,

We are having many users signing in (oauth) reporting issues where they email is not valid. Problem is that they do not have an existing account, but message displayed is very confusing.
It should do the following:
Instead of "The email cannot be recognized by Uber", it should have a clearer message that there is no account associated with their email.
Automatically redirect to sign up
Thanks for the improvement tip - we may consider it as a future request. However, this question is not relevant to SO - please use in the future Uber google groups (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/uber-developers) or send post's on Twitter at #UberDevelopers or #Uber_Support.
When I do a Paypal API signature request under business profile, the generated api is using my old website ---whateverAPI.my-old-website.com
I've updated all of my business information and see no instances of the old url in my paypal account or the developer or sandbox accounts.
I do not have the old login information for developer area where I created the original API information as it was changed to my new login/business.
I need to change the URL associated with my account so the api generated has the apicode.new-website.com
I know this is a low level expertise for most of you compared to what you are coding but I am completely stuck and have tried everything I can think of.
Thanks for taking the time to read!
When the API is first requested on an account, it is generated based on the email address associated with the account at the time. Even if you remove the email address and request new API credentials, it will still use that original email address. There is no need for concern, you only set this in your API call or in your shopping cart to use. Buyers are not going to see it or anything, and it's not something you would regularly share or have to use all that often. Once you set it in your code, you don't really mess with it again unless you need to set up the API credentials again.
They all seem to be either bouncing explicitly or silently not going through now (0 open/click rate), and they had been working since they first introduced the feature. I know they aren't giving users the option to choose a proxymail.facebook.com address anymore in the newer Auth box. Thanks.
The answer is NO. Facebook no longer issues proxymail addresses.
Although there is no official reference which I can attach with this answer. But found this for reference.
Pretty sure it's still available to users, but Facebook rolls out
updates to their dialog boxes slowly, so it's possible a newer (or
even an older) one doesn't have that option.
This was one link where you had that:-
Now after the recent updates the Change button was removed.
I can answer the specific question I asked so long ago. I think Facebook must have had a bug for a while that broke the *#proxymail.facebook.com email integration, and it was during this period that I asked my original question. However, looking at our email logs, I can see that we have had people click on links in email sent to these Facebook proxy emails at the end of October, so whatever the issue was must have been resolved, and I believe if you have a Facebook proxy email, you can safely send to it.
That being said, of course the individual user may have revoked the email permission (in which case their proxy email will go to nowhere), and my impression is the same as sfussenegger that Facebook is no longer allowing users to use proxy email addresses. I haven't seen the option to anonymize my email in a FB permissions dialog in a long time...
does this answer your question?
Communicating Directly with Your Users via Email
The reason you're getting no click-rates, is because in all outgoing emails that go through the facebook proxymail servers, the remailer is rewriting the links. So stuff of the form:
<a href="http://www.domain.com/">
gets re-written as:
<a href="l.php/?u=http://www.domain.com/">
Which is a broken link, and so your open-detection or click-detection probably won't work at all. And undoubtedly, users are confused (as evidenced by my users who ran into this).
I created a new Facebook account and verified it with my cell phone. I even see "Your mobile phone has been successfully verified." in https://www.facebook.com/confirmphone.php address.
So, everything seems perfect.
Then, I became Facebook friends with my friend (he is also verified and already created an Application). We are trying to add ME as an ADMIN for this Facebook Application from HIS account.
Even though both are completely verified by phone, HE canNOT add me as ADMIN for that application. He is getting
Only verified developers can be added as listed developers of this application. Read http://www.facebook.com/help/?faq=17580 for details.
message all the time.
We waited more than an hour just in case the Facebook system did not recognize my new verification.
In fact, I even tried removing the phone number and get verified again.
None of above did work and still getting the message which does not allow me to become an Admin of the application.
Could you help me?
Thanks in advance
I've heard of people having all kinds of problems with the developer section of Facebook.com
One resolution seems to be to log out of both accounts and log back in again.
It turns out that, facebook itself does not accept my account and thinks it is duplicate account. And in order to make them believe the Facebook team want me to provide these below:
Our systems indicated that your account may not be authentic based on
a variety of factors. If you believe you are being prevented from
creating apps by mistake, please reply to this email with a digital
image of your government-issued identification. Make sure the
identification you provide meets all of the following requirements:
Must be government-issued (e.g. passport, driver's license)
Must be in color
Must clearly show your full name, date of birth, and photo
If possible, please save this file in JPEG image format.
I dont know why they are making such a huge problem.
In my case, I used phone number to login my account and hadn't any email attached. after adding email as a primary contact I was able to verify my developer account.
