BUG it seems that if you wait too long after registering and before you enter the verification code, the registration resets after submitting the code

[qisforq]

Objective:

Investigate and fix the bug where the registration resets if there is a delay between registration and entering the verification code.

Sub-tasks:

1. Reproduce the bug

   • [ ] Set up a test environment with the AthletiFi application
   • [ ] Register a new user account
   • [ ] Intentionally delay entering the verification code for an extended period
   • [ ] Observe the behavior when submitting the verification code after the delay

2. Investigate the cause

   • [ ] Analyze the server-side logs to identify any error messages or anomalies related to the registration process
   • [ ] Review the code responsible for handling the verification process, focusing on session management and data persistence
   • [ ] Check if there are any timeouts or expiration mechanisms that could be causing the registration to reset

3. Implement a fix

   • [ ] Based on the investigation findings, develop a solution to prevent the registration from resetting due to delays
   • [ ] Consider extending session timeouts, improving data persistence, or implementing a more robust verification process
   • [ ] Modify the relevant code files to incorporate the necessary changes

4. Test the fix

   • [ ] Register a new test user account
   • [ ] Intentionally introduce a delay between registration and entering the verification code
   • [ ] Verify that the registration does not reset and the verification process completes successfully

5. Push the changes and deploy

   • [ ] Commit the code changes that resolve the bug
   • [ ] Push the changes to the relevant branch in the version control system
   • [ ] Trigger the deployment process to update the production environment with the fix

These task descriptions provide a structured approach to address the specified issues and improvements in the AthletiFi application. Each task includes sub-tasks that outline the necessary steps to investigate, implement, test, and deploy the changes effectively.
