Context and Problem Statement

The new hasAccess function (see this decision) would return hasAccess: false for a session with an unverified email even in OPTIONAL mode (and always in web-js) currently.

Considered Options

• Add invalidClaims to the hasAccess: true return type of hasAccess
• Only add validators in REQUIRED mode in the email verification recipe

Decision Outcome

We should only add validators in REQUIRED mode in the email verification recipes, because:

• hasAccess: true with invalid claims seems a bit weird.
• It would complicate claims further if we allowed them to only optionally disallow access.

As a consequence:

• We should add mode param to the email verification recipe in web-js.
• In both SDKs, the OPTIONAL mode should not add the email verification claim to the global claim validators.
