Change 6-digit code to an email link during signup about infisical

[khoa165]

@vmatsiiako hi Vlad, I am new to OSS contributing, hoping to pick up my first issue. Do you know if this has been done yet?

[vmatsiiako]

hey @khoa! Excited for you to join our community and hopefully contribute to Infisical. You should also consider joining our Slack for contributors. Here is the link: https://infisical.com/slack

I think this would be a great issue. I'd love to hear what @dangtony98 thinks about it too.

@vmatsiiako do you know how I can setup the email/SMTP? I used to just use my own personal gmail/password and put it in .env file. However, Google recently disabled/deprecated the ability to allow for less secure app access, so I am not sure if there is alternative or if there is shared email account from Infisical for this purpose.

I see. @dangtony98 do you have any ideas for how we could get around this?

I think you might be able to sue the free version of sendgrid

[khoa165]

@vmatsiiako from what I just dig around, sendgrid seems to offer SMTP server instead of giving you a free email.
Specifically, I think I am looking for maybe alternative of what I should populate these fields in .env with:

SMTP_HOST=Gmail
SMTP_PORT=
SMTP_NAME=
[email protected]
SMTP_PASSWORD=[my email password]

I made sure to put the correct email/password yet it did not send me the email for 6-digit code (step 2 of signup)

If you want to configure SMTP for local development, you can simply use the mailhog details below to your .env

SMTP_HOST=smtp-server
SMTP_PORT=1025
SMTP_NAME=<whatever you like>
[email protected]
SMTP_PASSWORD=

All mail will then be sent here http://localhost:8025/

@khoa165 You should read the documentation we have for configuring Infisical with various email providers here: https://infisical.com/docs/self-hosting/configuration/email

We support SendGrid, AWS SES, Mailgun, and a number of other confirmed providers if you wish to set up emailing outside of the development mailing server :)

Ahhhh @dangtony98 thanks for the info. I was just trying to do local development and the variables that Maidul provided are working for me.
