Firebase: Custom Reset Password Action Link

2
votes

If I want my server to handle the reset password email action link, what gets sent to my server? I see there's 2 params: mode & oobCode. What is mode going to be and how is oobCode used?

Note: this is regarding Firebase's newer "Email Template System". It's not the legacy one with the temporary password in the email body.

mode can be one of the following values:

  • resetPassword
  • recoverEmail
  • verifyEmail

and determines which action needs to be handled on your end.

oobCodeis a one-time code, used to identify and verify the request. You can call the method firebase.auth.checkActionCode(oobCode) to verify its validity.

Look the the Firebase docs to see how each mode is handled appropriately. https://firebase.google.com/docs/auth/custom-email-handler?hl=en
