Hello,
My team and me are developing an app using react and Okta's login service. We've been doing tests for a couple of months now and everything was working smoothly, however a couple of weeks ago we noticed the reset-password link that was arriving to the email was redirecting to an empty screen.
Upon further inspection I realized the react component for the loading callback is stuck on loading (which doesn't display anything unless you add a custom loading component).
Here is how it currently looks.
and here is a link to the component itself:
https://github.com/okta/okta-react/blob/master/src/LoginCallback.tsx
during the testing I also made sure that oktaAuth was defined so it baffles me a little bit that the component just jumps to loading instead of doing its thing.
Is it possible that it can be something related to a setting in Okta'
Hey Mihai,
I opened a case and got a helpful answer, which I'll share here in case it's useful for someone else:
The issue that you are facing seems to be caused by the release of our new magic link implementation.
Here you can find the official announcement: https://support.okta.com/help/s/olc-announcement-notification/aMh4z0000008OP6CAM/notification-sn-new-email-magic-link-user-experience?language=en_US
Now, with the new implementation you will have to use the "EMAIL VERIFICATION EXPERIENCE" option, which can be found in your OIDC application.
Here is a guide on how you have to set up your application to be able to handle the new magic link: https://developer.okta.com/docs/guides/authenticators-okta-email/java/main/
And here is some documentation about the magic link: https://developer.okta.com/docs/guides/email-magic-links-overview/nodeexpress/main/
You will have to implement in your application the functionality for using the "state" and the "otp" which you are receiving to log the user in.
