Admin user email verification (lemmy.click)

I’ve hit an issue with Lemmy. Initial startup was fine… I created my admin user and logged in. Then I created this account.

Third account I went to test with failed to login… then my other accounts also failed, so I rebooted.

Now when I try to log into my admin account, it just spins forever. Checking logs, I see this:

lemmy_server::api_routes_websocket: email_not_verified: email_not_verified

Can anyone tell me how I can manually flag my admin account as having been email verified already?

Ok, figured it out myself. For anyone else that needs it..

Run a shell within the postgres docker container:

docker exec -it _postgres_1 sh

Connect to the postgres service:

psql -U lemmy -h 127.0.0.1 -p 5432 -d lemmy

Connect to the lemmy database:

\c lemmy

Then the user table: \d local_user

Find the user ID of the account you want to manually toggle, probably #1:

SELECT * from local_user;

Then update the email_verified and _accepted_application flag on the first account:

UPDATE local_user SET email_verified = 't', accepted_application = 't' WHERE id = 1;

lemmy=# UPDATE local_user SET email_verified = 't', accepted_application = 't' WHERE id = 3; UPDATE 1 lemmy=# UPDATE local_user SET email_verified = 't', email_verified= 't' WHERE id = 3; UPDATE 1 lemmy=#

Thanks for this breakdown, I seem to be having issues with the update statements: lemmy=# UPDATE local_user SET email_verified = ‘t’, accepted_application = ‘t’ WHERE id = 1; ERROR: column "‘t’" does not exist LINE 1: UPDATE local_user SET email_verified = ‘t’, accepted_applica... ^ HINT: Perhaps you meant to reference the column "local_user.id". lemmy=# UPDATE local_user SET email_verified =‘t’, accepted_application = ‘t’ WHERE id = 1; ERROR: column "‘t’" does not exist LINE 1: UPDATE local_user SET email_verified =‘t’, accepted_applicat... ^ HINT: Perhaps you meant to reference the column "local_user.id". lemmy=# UPDATE local_user SET email_verified = ‘t’, accepted_application = ‘t’ WHERE id = 3; UPDATE 1 ERROR: column "‘t’" does not exist LINE 1: UPDATE local_user SET email_verified = ‘t’, accepted_applica... ^ HINT: Perhaps you meant to reference the column "local_user.id". lemmy-#

It seems that the query that Lodion shared has the wrong single quote character, ‘ rather than '. Try using it with the latter, I had the same issue as you and this was what fixed it.

yes, I should have realized that. That worked! Thank you @[email protected]
