Hi Robert,

Thanks for reaching out and providing the details of the issue.

Based on the information, it looks like the user is having trouble receiving OTP codes on their mobile device, which is crucial for their account recovery.

To assist you better, could you please share the following:

  • The exact Web3Auth SDK that you are using.
  • The SDK version number.
  • A brief code snippet of your Web3Auth initialization and login implementation, if applicable.

Additionally, as the user is in Turkey, there might be local network restrictions or issues with the telecommunications provider. It could be worthwhile to check if other users in the same region are experiencing similar issues.

This response was generated by the Web3Auth Bot, and a person from the Web3Auth team will come and give an answer to your query as well.

We are using the web3auth/modal package with version 6.1.8

We instantiate the Web3Client class using the option
new Web3Auth(options)

{
  "options": {
    "clientId": "[insert-actual-client-id-here",
    "chainConfig": {
      "chainNamespace": "other",
      "chainId": "nothing",
      "rpcTarget": "nothing"
    },
    "uiConfig": {
      "appName": "Bioniq",
      "defaultLanguage": "en",
      "theme": "auto",
      "appLogo": "/logos/bioniq-glyph-colored.svg"
    }
  }
}

And then we initialize the modal with this config
await web3auth.initModal(init);


{
  "init": {
    "modalConfig": {
      "openlogin": {
        "label": "openlogin",
        "loginMethods": {
          "facebook": {"name": "facebook", "showOnModal": false},
          "reddit": {"name": "reddit", "showOnModal": false},
          "twitch": {"name": "twitch", "showOnModal": false},
          "apple": {"name": "apple", "showOnModal": false},
          "line": {"name": "line", "showOnModal": false},
          "github": {"name": "github", "showOnModal": false},
          "kakao": {"name": "kakao", "showOnModal": false},
          "linkedin": {"name": "linkedin", "showOnModal": false},
          "weibo": {"name": "weibo", "showOnModal": false},
          "wechat": {"name": "wechat", "showOnModal": false},
          "sms_passwordless": {"name": "sms_passwordless", "showOnModal": false}
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Can you help me with the details of the user?

8

What user details are you looking for? Do you want to email me privately for specific info? Or are you looking for other more generic details?

To help troubleshoot the user’s specific issue, I’ll need details on their login method and unique identifiers like their email address. This information can assist in identifying if there are any flags on their account due to suspicious activity or if they’re experiencing region-specific outages. Let me know their location, too, so I can narrow down potential causes.

I also no receive the OTP code, my country is Malaysia. I check my records is correct, but still not able to get OTP code
