Registration: Identification by email with a code (not a link)
Under study
Grégoire ASSÉMAT (PRO)
Today, when you want to register via a Group/Activity registration form, if Enoria recognizes your email address, you will receive a link. But 2 problems have been clearly identified.
2 use cases:
- “Not very comfortable” case: A person starts the registration on a computer, when they do not have their email box configured on this computer but on their phone. She will receive the link on her smartphone and will therefore have to continue registering on it.
- “Security problem” case: I can't count the times I've seen emails containing a personalized link (instead of the public form link) transferred between people from different households. Not very secure, which also leads to the creation of people in bad homes. I already had a household with about twenty neighbors...
Proposal: do as with SMS: send a 6-digit code by email.
And why not also a link, only valid for a few minutes.
For information to the Enoria association: because of this, several dioceses strongly advise using SMS (instead of email). This creates costs for the association, which could be avoided...

It seems to me that since July 5, 2025, the security token on the home page has been automatically changed after successful authentication. This means that once the link has been used once, it can no longer be used.
The clickable link is still practical, even if the code is not a bad idea, but in my opinion it should complement the email, and not replace the link entirely.

Clément FERREIRA Totally agree. This is what we often find in the emails we receive for identification: 2 possibilities: a code and a link. In the end, everything is very complementary.

Totally agree and worse than that since we often have the case when our parish policy is to:
1/ welcome, exchange and support
2/ ask the applicant to enter the information in the registration form on a computer shared at the cure
And some links, such as baptism and marriage requests, are only accessible from this voluntarily shared computer.
