Week 9 - 23.May.2026

Progress: Password Recovery & Identity Verification

This week focused on account recovery and a modernized, trust-aware registration experience.

What was done

  • Implemented forgot-password for users, sending an OTP verification to the user’s email.
  • Modernized the registration flow to bypass onboarding and integrated an identity verification system with trust badges.
  • Fixed an outstanding build error introduced during the registration rework.

Outcome

Users can now recover access through email OTP, and new accounts go through a streamlined, identity-verified registration with visible trust badges.

Challenge

Implementing a secure forgot-password flow with email OTP delivery introduced external email integration and time-limited verification logic that had to be both safe and user-friendly. Modernizing registration to bypass onboarding while weaving in identity verification and trust badges reshaped a core flow — and it broke the build, which then had to be tracked down and fixed.

Commits this week

  • implement forgot password for user with sending otp verification with user email.
  • modernize registration flow, bypass onboarding, and integrate identity verification system with trust badges.
  • fix build error.
