Question 💬

Hey Folks

I'm using NextAuth and it's Email Provider for authentication. Everything is great except for one issue.

Our email link expires after 24 hours. The info on the next auth docs is that we should overwrite the maxage parameter in the provider. I have set it to 365 days however it is still expiring after 24 hours.

Following is my email provider code(Happy to provide more code if you want):

EmailProvider({   
      server: {
        host: process.env.EMAIL_SERVER_HOST,
        port: process.env.EMAIL_SERVER_PORT,
       
        auth: {
          user: process.env.EMAIL_SERVER_USER,
          pass: process.env.EMAIL_SERVER_PASSWORD,
        },
        
      },
      maxAge: 365 * 24 * 60 * 60,
      from: process.env.EMAIL_FROM,
      sendVerificationRequest({ identifier, url, provider }) {
        CustomsendVerificationRequest({ identifier, url, provider })
      },
    })

This is a problem we're facing since most of our customers don't login until 2-3 days later.

How do we extend the email link expiration?
Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks
