    I recently discovered that the verification code is not flag as used after the user have verified.

    Meaning I can use the same code to activate and auto login over and over again.

    Doesn’t seems to be very secure. Is this a bug?

    Hello @howson ,
    We have a feature that could probably solve this issue but it’s only available in Pro version for now. The feature name is:
    – Expire activation link

    Anyway we’ll be working on your suggestion trying to make the link active only once

    The expiration link technically solve part of the issue, however as long as that link is not expired people can keep using that verification link to login without a password.

    Would really appreciate if you can work on a one time use activation link, as this will greatly improve security. Is there an estimation on when this can be roll out?

    Thanks.

    Hi @howson ,
    Don’t worry. We are creating a new option for it and we’ll release on the next version as a free feature.
