In this tutorial, you will learn how to enable email verification on Spring boot application.<\/p>\n

\"Email<\/a>
Email Verification Workflow in SpringBoot<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Flow<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. User fills and submits registration form<\/li>\n
  2. UserService receives and saves the user information with accountVerified set to false<\/li>\n
  3. UserService creates and saves a new SecureToken<\/li>\n
  4. UserService sends a verification email to user along with a link having the secure token<\/li>\n
  5. The user receives the email and clicks on the verification link<\/li>\n
  6. UserServices receives the request<\/li>\n
  7. UserService extracts the token<\/li>\n
  8. Check if the token is valid (exists)<\/li>\n
  9. Verifies user by setting the accountVerified field to True<\/li>\n
  10. Removes the secure token<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Step1 – Setup Your Dependencies<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Add the springboot-starter-mail dependency<\/li>\n
    2. Add the commons-lang3 dependency<\/em> (we need the BooleanUtils module from here)<\/li>\n
    3. We would also need com.sun.xml.messaging.saaj<\/em><\/li>\n
    4. Also make sure you have the MySQL dependency<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

       <\/p>\n

      Step 2 – Create the SecureToken model<\/strong><\/p>\n

      Create the SecureToken model in the security\/models package.<\/p>\n

      These SecureToken model will have the following fields<\/p>\n

          private<\/span> Long id;<\/span>\r\n    private<\/span> String token;<\/span>\r\n    private<\/span> LocalDateTime expiredAt;<\/span>\r\n    private<\/span> User user;<\/span>\r\n<\/pre>\n
       <\/p>\n
      Step 3 – Update the User model to include these fields<\/strong><\/p>\n
