How to get the userā€™s email when they signup using Web3Auth?

#2

I think that a user doesnā€™t need an email when he authenticates with a wallet.

#3

I mean when they signup using gmail/twitter or some other service

#4

In that case, if you make that work, the email should be saved in db in User table

Moralis released this integration with Web3Auth a few days ago.

When Iā€™m signing up using Gmail, I am unable to view the email in my database. There is no field for it

#6

Ok, what do you see in db for a user?

These fields only

Strange, how can it get the eth address if the user uses the email for authentication?

#9

It probably creates an address automatically. I canā€™t also seem to figure this out

#10

it generates a key in the background using the email key :raised_hands: I believe @pushpit07

Itā€™s very similar to Magic Link, but Magic link is quite centralized they store the key in the server

Web3Auth store user keys in their own p2p torus network (not sure if it is a blockchain or not)

#11

So, I canā€™t access the email from Moralis dashboard?

#12

Thatā€™s a bummer. @taha You guys should figure something out for this

#13

I mean you can too, why not? but maybe you need to set the email manually after authenticating so it is also stored in Moralis DB, but yeah donā€™t think that should be a problem

#14

Canā€™t seem to figure this out yet @cryptokid

Web3Auth provides a ā€œGet User Infoā€ method to get the userā€™s info. But I canā€™t seem to figure out how to run this through Moralis
