confirmation mail to unconfirmed mail - ruby-on-rails

When I update the email id in devise like this:
current_user.update!(email: params[:email])
Email is sent to current email id. I want to send the confirmation email to the new email id which is to be updated.

If you don't want to send an info to the old email but want to send confirmation instructions to the new email, what you're looking for is two settings in config/initializers/devise.rb, namely reconfirmable and send_email_changed_notification. The former sends an email to the new email with confirmation instructions (basically repeating what's happening at initial creation where a confirmation email is sent to the email being used) while the latter sends an info that an email was changed to the old email. Consequently, you need to set the values to true and false respectively:
# in config/initializers/devise.rb
Devise.setup do |config|
# ...
config.reconfirmable = true
config.send_email_changed_notification = false
end
It could be that these are already in your devise.rb – if they are, make sure to set them there to not have them twice and accidentally override each other in ways you don't want.

Devise skip reconfirmation

I need to skip, not the confirmation email, but REconfirmation emails.
Suppose I have a user with a confirmed email. I want to manually change its email for testing/support purposes
u.email # => email1#example.com
u.email = 'email2#example.com'
u.save
u.email # => email1#example.com
u.unconfirmed_email # 'email2#example.com'
I tried u.skip_confirmation! before and after saving but it doesn't seem to help for reconfirmation emails... the unconfirmed email is not transferred to the email field
Is there any way to force the new unconfirmed email to switch to the normal email ?
That method only skips sending of mail, that does not confirm the new mail which is stored in unconfirmed_mail. maybe you could just confirm the user manually like u.confirm.
confirm method works only after object is saved.
To skip reconfirmation email notification use : skip_confirmation_notification!
Here is the Code reference.
Or try skip_reconfirmation! this may confirm new email and avoid sending email notification. I have not used it but I understand so from the comment in code reference above(next method of skip_confirmation_notification! defination). so try it and let me know.

Preventing Devise from sending an email when changing password

I am using Devise with my Rails 3 application. The current behavior for resetting a password, is to click on the "Forgot your password?" link. The link here is:
(url)/password/new.user
Which will call the following method in the Devise passwords_controller.rb:
def new
build_resource({})
end
This method will do:
generates the password reset token and adds it to the database,
sends an email to the person with a link that includes the token:
(url)/password/edit?reset_password_token=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Is there any way to convince Devise to perform step 1 ONLY and not step 2? Are there any security issues I should be aware of if this is possible, and I did take this approach in an effort to simplify a portion of the web site.
I would recommend overriding send_devise_notification on your User (?) model and return true when the notification value is :reset_password_instructions. Something like this:
# app/models/user.rb
def send_devise_notification(notification)
return true if notification == :reset_password_instructions
end
Check their example on how to override/customize behavior for sending emails
https://github.com/plataformatec/devise/blob/master/lib/devise/models/authenticatable.rb#L127
You can disable it at instance level:
# disable all notifications
user.define_singleton_method(:send_devise_notification) { |*_| true }
# disable the one you want
user.define_singleton_method(:send_devise_notification) do |*args|
return true if args[0] == :reset_password_instructions
super
end
The title of the question is general, but the question itself is more specific. This is the answer to the general question as of 2021.
To prevent a password changed email notification from being sent when changing a user password, call skip_password_change_notification! on the user before saving the user.
user = User.find(123)
user.skip_password_change_notification!
user.password = 'DoNotUse$123'
user.save

Devise - create user account with confirmed without sending out an email?

I integrated devise with facebook. Now when I create a user account after the user has logged in with his/her facebook account,
user = User.create(:email => data["email"],
:password => Devise.friendly_token[0,20])
user.confirmed_at = DateTime.now
user.save!
even though the account has been confirmed, an confirmation email is still fired. Any idea how I can turn the email firing off?
The confirm callback happens after create, so it's happening on line 1 of your example, before you set confirmed_at manually.
As per the comments, the most correct thing to do would be to use the method provided for this purpose, #skip_confirmation!. Setting confirmed_at manually will work, but it circumvents the provided API, which is something which should be avoided when possible.
So, something like:
user = User.new(user_attrs)
user.skip_confirmation!
user.save!
Original answer:
If you pass the confirmed_at along with your create arguments, the mail should not be sent, as the test of whether or not an account is already "confirmed" is to look at whether or not that date is set.
User.create(
:email => data['email'],
:password => Devise.friendly_token[0,20],
:confirmed_at => DateTime.now
)
That, or just use new instead of create to build your user record.
If you just want to prevent sending the email, you can use #skip_confirmation_notification, like so:
user = User.new(your, args)
user.skip_confirmation_notification!
user.save!
See documentation
Skips sending the confirmation/reconfirmation notification email
after_create/after_update. Unlike #skip_confirmation!, record still
requires confirmation.
Open up the Rails console
rails c
Note the user (through id) or using rails helper methods, eg. first, last.
Create a variable to hold the user.
user = User.last
Use the skip_confirmation helper to confirm the user, then save.
user.skip_confirmation
user.save

How to skip email confirmation for users who uses Devise rpx conecteable

I am working on a mini project and i dont know how to skip email confirmation for users who uses devise_rpx_connectable_to sign in, Every time i try to sign in using this services it sends email confirmation to those users.
you can always override this method in User class:
def confirmation_required?
!confirmed?
end
for example you can check there if rpx_identifier.blank?
try this code:
def confirmation_required?
!confirmed? and rpx_identifier.blank?
end

Rails Devise: Set password reset token and redirect user

In my app for a certain use case I create a new user (programmatically set the password) and send them a confirmation email.
I would like them to be able to change their password immediately after confirming (without having to enter the system generated one which I don't want to send them)
In effect I would like
1) System creates a new user account with generated password.
2) System sends confirmation email.
3) User clicks confirmation and is redirected to enter in their password (effectively send them to a URL like below)
Change my password
Any help / pointers would be great.
A simple way to have just one step for users to confirm email address and set initial password using the link you proposed...
Send one email your app generates, including a reset_password_token, and consider user's possession of that token confirmation of the validity of that email address.
In system account generation code, assuming User model is set up with :recoverable and :database_authenticatable Devise modules...
acct = User.new
acct.password = User.reset_password_token #won't actually be used...
acct.reset_password_token = User.reset_password_token
acct.email = "user#usercompany.com" #assuming users will identify themselves with this field
#set other acct fields you may need
acct.save
Make the devise reset password view a little clearer for users when setting initial password.
views/devise/passwords/edit.html.erb
...
<%= "true" == params[:initial] ? "Set your password" : "Reset your password" %>
...
Generated Email
Hi <%= #user.name %>
An account has been generated for you.
Please visit www.oursite.com/users/password/edit?initial=true&reset_password_token=<%= #user.reset_password_token %> to set your password.
No need to include :confirmable Devise module in your User model, since accounts created by your app won't get accessed without the reset_password_token in the email.
Devise will handle the submit and clear the reset_password_token field.
See devise_gem_folder/lib/devise/models/recoverable.rb and database_authenticatable.rb for details on reset_password_token method and friends.
If you want to use Devise :confirmable module rather than this approach, see the Devise wiki page.
In Rails 4.1, the following modification of Anatortoise House's reply works:
user = User.new
user.password = SecureRandom.hex #some random unguessable string
raw_token, hashed_token = Devise.token_generator.generate(User, :reset_password_token)
user.reset_password_token = hashed_token
user.reset_password_sent_at = Time.now.utc
user.email = 'user#usercompany.com'
user.save!
# Use a mailer you've written, such as:
AccountMailer.set_password_notice(user, raw_token).deliver
The email view has this link:
www.oursite.com/users/password/edit?initial=true&reset_password_token=<%= #raw_token %>
Here is my snippet for mailer preview
class Devise::MailerPreview < ActionMailer::Preview
def reset_password_instructions
user = User.last
token = user.send(:set_reset_password_token)
Devise::Mailer.reset_password_instructions(user, token)
end
end
You can call
user.send(:set_reset_password_token)
It may not be stable, as it's a protected method but it can work for your case. Just cover it with a test.
(tested on Devise v. 3.4)
