    await signUp.prepareVerification({
      strategy: 'email_otp',
      redirectUri: window.location.origin + '/verify-email'
    });
  };

  const preparePhoneVerification = async () => {
    await signUp.prepareVerification({
      strategy: 'phone_otp',
      lastDigits: '1234' // Optional hint for phone verification
    });
  };

  if (signupAttempt?.current_step === 'verify_email') {

Verification Strategies

​
Email OTP Verification

// Prepare email verification
await signUp.prepareVerification({
  strategy: 'email_otp',
  redirectUri: 'https://myapp.com/verify-email'
});

// Complete with received code
await signUp.completeVerification('123456');

​
Phone OTP Verification

// Prepare phone verification
await signUp.prepareVerification({
  strategy: 'phone_otp',
  lastDigits: '1234' // Optional last digits hint
});

// Complete with received code
await signUp.completeVerification('123456');

Notes

  • Sign-up attempts are automatically tracked and managed
  • Verification codes are typically 6 digits
  • Email verification may include a redirect URI for seamless user experience
  • Phone verification supports last digits hints for user convenience
  • All operations return a consistent ApiResult format
  • The hook automatically manages loading states during API calls
