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?

    I was having the same issue. flipped “Email_verified” from ‘f’ to ‘t’ in the “local_users” table and I’m able to log in with my admin account now. not sure what else may have been messed up in the process though.

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

        Run a shell within the postgres docker container:

        docker exec -it <sitename>_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.
