I am currently working on configuring the identity system in my application using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Identity. I have set the 'RequireConfirmedEmail' property to true, ensuring that users must verify their email addresses before accessing the system.
However, I have encountered an issue when handling authentication scenarios where a user enters a wrong password but a valid username. In such cases, the PasswordSignInAsync method returns IsNotAllowed, indicating that the user is not allowed to sign in. However, this response does not specify whether the user is not allowed due to an incorrect password or an unverified email.
To provide a better user experience, I would like to differentiate between these two scenarios. The ideal logic should trigger a message to the user stating "Username or password is incorrect" if the user entered the wrong password. Then, we can check whether the email associated with the username is verified or not.
Here's a sample code snippet to illustrate the issue:
var user = await _userManager.FindByNameAsync(username);
var result = await _signInManager.PasswordSignInAsync(username, password, false, lockoutOnFailure: false);
if (result.Succeeded)
{
// Authentication successful
}
else if (result.IsNotAllowed)
{
if (!user.EmailConfirmed)// I want this condition to be !user.EmailConfirmed and Valid Password
{
// Handle unverified email scenario
}
else
{
// Handle incorrect password scenario
//"Username or password is incorrect"
}
}
else if //other auth condition
As shown in the code snippet, I'm currently unable to differentiate between the incorrect password and unverified email scenarios.
Could you please advise on the recommended approach to achieve this differentiation? I want to ensure that the correct error message is displayed to the user based on the specific authentication scenario.
Thank you for your assistance. I look forward to your response.
