reauthentication_required

HTTP status: 403 · Code: reauthentication_required

A user without a password must sign in again, by link or code, within 10 minutes before this action.

Why it happens

A user without a password must have signed in, by link or code, within the last 10 minutes before a sensitive action like changing their email.

How to fix

Send them a magic link or an email code to sign in again, then retry the action.

Catch it in your code

Every SDK throws one error type for a failed call. Match on its code, which is always reauthentication_required for this error, never on the message.

JavaScript and Next.js

import { ErrorCode, OrvanoError } from '@orvano/js'

try {
  // your Orvano call
} catch (error) {
  if (error instanceof OrvanoError && error.code === ErrorCode.reauthenticationRequired) {
    // handle reauthentication_required
  } else {
    throw error
  }
}

Dart and Flutter

import 'package:orvano_flutter/orvano_flutter.dart'; // or orvano_dart on a server

try {
  // your Orvano call
} on OrvanoException catch (error) {
  if (error.code != ErrorCode.reauthenticationRequired) rethrow;
  // handle reauthentication_required
}

.NET

using Orvano;

try
{
    // your Orvano call
}
catch (OrvanoException error) when (error.Code == ErrorCode.ReauthenticationRequired)
{
    // handle reauthentication_required
}

The error also carries the HTTP status (403), a message, and a request ID. Quote the request ID when you report a problem: the server logs it with the failure. See Errors for how errors work in every SDK, or every error code.
