Authenticate a User with Email

1

Initialize Turnkey

import { Turnkey } from "@turnkey/sdk-browser";

const turnkey = new Turnkey({
  apiBaseUrl: "https://api.turnkey.com",
  defaultOrganizationId: process.env.TURNKEY_ORGANIZATION_ID,
});

2

Initialize the Iframe Client

Note that the iframe client must be initialized with the dom element where the iframe will be injected. If you are using the react-sdk you can import the iframeClient from the useTurnkey() hook without this step and the iframe dom element will be managed for you. Note that the iframeClient must be initialized before calling emailAuth because you need the iframePublicKey as a parameter to the emailAuth call.

import { Turnkey, TurnkeySDKBrowserConfig } from "@turnkey/sdk-browser";

const turnkeyConfig: TurnkeySDKBrowserConfig = {...};
const turnkey = new Turnkey(turnkeyConfig);

const iframeContainerId = "turnkey-auth-iframe-container-id";

// ensure the HTML element exists somewhere in the rendered DOM
<div id={iframeContainerId} />

const iframeClient = await turnkey.iframeClient(document.getElementById(iframeContainerId))

3

Call emailAuth from your backend

await turnkey.serverSign(
  "emailAuth",
  [{
    email: <userEmail>,
    targetPublicKey: iframeClient.iframePublicKey,
    organizationId: <userSubOrganizationId>
  }]
)

If you need to lookup the user subOrganizationId by email, you can call the getSubOrgIds method with the filterType parameter set to "EMAIL"

const subOrgIds = await turnkey.serverSign(
  "getSubOrgIds",
  [{
    filterType: "EMAIL",
    filterValue: <userEmail>
  }]
)

const userSubOrganizationId = subOrgIds.organizationIds[0];

4

Inject the emailed credentialBundle into the iframe to authenticate the user

const authenticationResponse =
  await iframeClient.injectCredentialBundle(credentialBundle);
if (authenticationResponse) {
  // user is authenticated and can perform actions from the `iframeClient`
  await iframeClient.login();
  navigate("/authenticated-route");
} else {
  // credential bundle does not match emailed credential
  navigate("/not-authenticated-route");
}

5

Make read requests on behalf of the authenticated user from the currentUserSession

const currentUserSession = await turnkey.currentUserSession();
const walletsResponse = await currentUserSession.getWallets();
const walletName = walletsResponse.wallets[0].walletName;

6

Call the `iframeClient` directly for write requests

import { DEFAULT_ETHEREUM_ACCOUNTS } from "@turnkey/sdk-browser";
const newWalletResponse = await iframeClient.createWallet({
  walletName: "New Wallet for User",
  accounts: DEFAULT_ETHEREUM_ACCOUNTS,
});
