Magic link returns "Signups not allowed for OTP"

Shipped· 2 months ago

Trying to sign in via the magic link form on /login with a brand-new email returns a Supabase error: Signups not allowed for otp.

Likely a GoTrue config flag (GOTRUE_EXTERNAL_EMAIL_ENABLED / GOTRUE_DISABLE_SIGNUP) — needs to be flipped or guarded with an explicit "use OAuth for new accounts" message.

Reproduced. Root cause is GOTRUE_DISABLE_SIGNUP=true on the GoTrue container which blocks OTP-mediated signups too. Patching the overlay env so OTP can self-signup, and we'll surface a clearer error in the login UI.

Guards email OTP signups in the app with clearer fallback messaging and adds GoTrue overlay notes. For brand-new email signup via OTP to work in production, deploy auth config with GOTRUE_DISABLE_SIGNUP=false and GOTRUE_EXTERNAL_EMAIL_ENABLED=true.
