# Credentials

## **Scenario 1: Sign up/Sign in with Free Account**

**Responsible File**: `action/sign-up.ts`

**Steps**:

1. **Inputs Validation**
2. **User Record Creation**: Hash the password before saving.
3. **Verification Token Generation**
4. **Send Verification Email**:
   * User receives a link in the form: `auth/sign-up?token=token_code`
   * The link performs automatic validation and informs the user of the result (success or error).

**Final Steps**:

1. **ClientPlan Creation**: In the function (`actions/auth/new-email-verification.ts`), handle the `ClientPlan` creation and call `handleAfterSignupTasks()`.

## **Scenario 2: Sign up as a New Client Who Has Just Subscribed to a Plan**

This scenario is similar to the OAuth-based scenario for new clients with subscription plans.

1. **PreClientPlan Table**: Created at the Stripe webhook level to store temporary plan information.
2. **Token-based Link**: Sent to the client for account creation.

   **Link Format**: `example.com/auth/sign-up?token=token_code`
3. In the `action/sign-up.ts` file, handle the token and proceed to set up the client’s account in the `setupUserAccount()` function.
4. Use the token to extract data from the `PreClientPlan` record and create the `ClientPlan`.

   ```jsx
   await prisma.clientPlan.create({
       data: {
           userId,
           subscriptionPlan: existingPreClientPlan.plan,
           status: "ACTIVE",
           subscriptionType: existingPreClientPlan.subscriptionType,
           // ...other fields
       },
   });
   ```
5. Finally, call `handleAfterSignupTasks()` to complete the process.
