# CIAM-Passwordless-Protect-Verify-Email-Subflow

The CIAM-Passwordless-Protect-Verify-Email-Subflow lets a user verify their email address.

## Purpose

The **CIAM-Passwordless-Protect-Verify-Email-Subflow** displays an HTML page giving users the option to enter a verification code sent to their email or resend the code. If the user enters the code, a PingOne node verifies the code. If the user requests that the coe be resent, a PingOne node resends the code, then the user is returned to the beginning of the flow.

## Structure

Diagram of the structure, as described below.

This flow is divided into sections using teleport nodes:

* **Ask for email verification code**

  Uses a flow instance variable to track the number of verification attempts. It presents the user with an HTML page on which they can enter a verification code or request that the code be resent. If the user submits a verification code, the flow progresses to the **Verify verification code** section. If the user requests a new code, the flow progresses to the **Resend verification code** section.

* **Verify verification code**

  Increments the number of validation attempts. If the number of attempts has not reached the maximum, a PingOne node validates the verification code. If the validation succeeds, a JSON success message is sent. If the validation fails, an error message is displayed.

* **Resend verification code**

  Uses a PingOne node to send a new verification code, then displays a confirmation message for the user.

* **Return Error**

  Sends a JSON error message.
