Hi @rifqmd Can you share with your auth.php config file?

[manageruz]

and please show me your Activate account url

[manageruz]

After email has been successfully sent, but before hitting the activate account URL, check your database that the new registered user has been successfully created and the activation hash value is present.

Alright, here's the auth.php config file

class Auth extends BaseConfig
{
    public $defaultUserGroup = 'user';

    public $landingRoute = '/';

    public $reservedRoutes = [
        'login'                   => 'login',
        'logout'                  => 'logout',
        'register'                => 'register',
        'activate-account'        => 'activate-account',
        'resend-activate-account' => 'resend-activate-account',
        'forgot'                  => 'forgot',
        'reset-password'          => 'reset-password',
    ];

    public $authenticationLibs = [
        'local' => 'Myth\Auth\Authentication\LocalAuthenticator',
    ];

    public $views = [
        // 'login'           => 'Myth\Auth\Views\login',
        // 'register'        => 'Myth\Auth\Views\register',
        // 'forgot'          => 'Myth\Auth\Views\forgot',
        'login'           => '\App\Views\pages\auth\login',
        'register'        => '\App\Views\pages\auth\register',
        'forgot'          => '\App\Views\pages\auth\forgetPassword',
        'reset'           => 'Myth\Auth\Views\reset',
        'emailForgot'     => 'Myth\Auth\Views\emails\forgot',
        'emailActivation' => 'Myth\Auth\Views\emails\activation',
    ];

    public $viewLayout = 'Myth\Auth\Views\layout';

    public $validFields = ['email', 'username'];

    public $personalFields = ['fullname'];

    public $maxSimilarity = 50;

    public $allowRegistration = false;

    public $requireActivation = 'Myth\Auth\Authentication\Activators\EmailActivator';

    public $activeResetter = 'Myth\Auth\Authentication\Resetters\EmailResetter';

    public $allowRemembering = false;

    public $rememberLength = 30 * DAY;

    public $silent = false;

    public $hashAlgorithm = PASSWORD_DEFAULT;

    public $hashMemoryCost = 2048; // PASSWORD_ARGON2_DEFAULT_MEMORY_COST;

    public $hashTimeCost = 4; // PASSWORD_ARGON2_DEFAULT_TIME_COST;

    public $hashThreads = 4; // PASSWORD_ARGON2_DEFAULT_THREADS;

    public $hashCost = 10;

    public $minimumPasswordLength = 8;

    public $passwordValidators = [
        'Myth\Auth\Authentication\Passwords\CompositionValidator',
        // 'Myth\Auth\Authentication\Passwords\NothingPersonalValidator',
        // 'Myth\Auth\Authentication\Passwords\DictionaryValidator',
        // 'Myth\Auth\Authentication\Passwords\PwnedValidator',
    ];

    public $userActivators = [
        'Myth\Auth\Authentication\Activators\EmailActivator' => [
            'fromEmail' => null,
            'fromName'  => null,
        ],
    ];

    public $userResetters = [
        'Myth\Auth\Authentication\Resetters\EmailResetter' => [
            'fromEmail' => null,
            'fromName'  => null,
        ],
    ];

    public $resetTime = 3600;
}

And this is the HTML that links to the activation URL

<p>Activate my account or simply copy and then paste the link below to your web browser, <?= site_url() ?>.</p>

<p>To activate your account use this URL:</p>

<p><a href="<?= url_to('activate-account') . '?token=' . $hash ?>">Activate account</a>.</p>

[rifqmd]

each account creation has successfully entered the database and if activated at the stage click the url from the link but the error is considered 'Unable to locate a user with that activation code.' and hash activation does not exist in the database

[manageruz]

and hash activation does not exist in the database

Ok. Then in the AuthController.php file after the code below (it's inside attemptRegister() method) dump the $user variable and show me it's values please: $this->config->requireActivation === null ? $user->activate() : $user->generateActivateHash();

[rifqmd]

that part of the source code

// Save the user
$allowedPostFields = array_merge(['password'], $this->config->validFields, $this->config->personalFields);
$user              = new User($this->request->getPost($allowedPostFields));

$this->config->requireActivation === null ? $user->activate() : $user->generateActivateHash();

[manageruz]

after your above code just insert var_dump($user); die();
