This PR documents the Block disposable email addresses policy, covering the built-in switch and a workflow for extra domains.

  • Landing page (for SEO and discoveribility) at /build/set-up-options/block-disposable-emails/ explains the switch, what it blocks, and when to use a workflow.
  • Global access policies adds the setting after Allowed domains, including how it combines with an allow list, plus a quick-reference row.
  • A new Workflow tutorial (block disposable emails) shows a user:pre_registration workflow when the user wants to add additional domains. The examples list and the pre-registration trigger page link to it.
  • Playwright and Cypress passwordless tests note that Mailinator and Mailosaur sign-up tests fail while the switch is on, and that it must be turned off under Settings > Environment > Policies.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Added guidance for blocking sign-ups from known disposable email addresses with an environment-wide policy. The policy can be combined with allowed email domains; self-service sign-up requires an allowed domain that is not disposable.
    • Added a workflow tutorial for blocking additional email domains and clarified how it relates to the built-in policy.
    • Updated passwordless and email-and-password testing guides to explain that Mailinator and Mailosaur sign-ups are blocked when the policy is enabled.

Walkthrough

The documentation now covers an environment-wide policy that blocks sign-ups from known disposable email domains. It also adds a pre-registration workflow tutorial for blocking additional domains and updates related testing and workflow examples.

Changes

Disposable Email Guidance

Layer / File(s) Summary
Built-in disposable-email policy
src/content/docs/build/set-up-options/access-policies.mdx, src/content/docs/build/set-up-options/block-disposable-emails.mdx, src/content/docs/testing/*/test-passwordless-flows.mdx
The access-policy pages explain how the environment-wide setting works, which sign-up paths it affects, and how it combines with allowed domains. The passwordless testing guides note that enabled blocking prevents sign-ups using Mailinator and Mailosaur addresses.
Custom-domain workflow
src/content/docs/workflows/workflow-tutorials/block-disposable-emails.mdx, src/content/docs/workflows/example-workflows/pre-user-registration-workflow.mdx, src/content/docs/workflows/getting-started/workflow-examples.mdx
A new tutorial shows a pre-registration workflow that reads DISPOSABLE_EMAIL_DOMAINS and denies registration when the email domain matches a trimmed list entry. The workflow example pages link to the tutorial.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 5e6ec

The documentation is otherwise ready to merge. The workflow tutorial's sample code should be fixed first, because readers may copy it into production. The sample logs full sign-up events, can error on events without user details, can be bypassed with uppercase email domains, and does not explain how to combine it with an existing pre-registration workflow.

A rabbit reads the policy page,
Then checks each domain on the stage.
The workflow trims its list with care,
And blocks a match before the chair.
Mailinator tests get a warning note.

Explain how to add this rule to an existing pre-registration workflow. Kinde permits only one workflow per trigger. A reader who already uses user:pre_registration cannot deploy this example as a second workflow without changing that setup. Tell readers to add the domain check and required bindings to their existing workflow rather than replace its other registration rules. (docs.kinde.com)

Do not log the complete registration event. This statement sends the event to workflow runtime logs on every invocation. The documented event shape includes request details such as IP address and authentication state; this example also reads a sign-up email from the event. Log the decision or a non-sensitive identifier instead of event. (docs.kinde.com)

🌐 Web query:

site:docs.kinde.com workflows "failurePolicy" "stop" registration error pre-registration

💡 Result:

Kinde’s docs confirm that `failurePolicy: { action: "stop" }` stops a workflow when it encounters an error. The error-code guide specifically associates this policy with **error 1706** when a **post-authentication** workflow fails. ([docs.kinde.com](https://docs.kinde.com/workflows/workflow-tutorials/check-plan-change-eligibility/?utm_source=openai))

Those results don’t establish whether this applies to a **pre-registration** workflow or what registration error it produces. The closest relevant source is the [Kinde common errors guide](https://docs.kinde.com/get-started/guides/error-codes/), which discusses the post-authentication case.

Guard the optional context.user object.

The documented user:pre_registration event example omits context.user. If Kinde sends that shape, this access can throw before the no-email branch, and failurePolicy: { action: "stop" } stops the workflow on error. Use optional chaining so this payload reaches the existing allow-registration branch.

Compare email domains without case sensitivity. With mailinator.com configured, user@MAILINATOR.COM does not pass this includes check and registration continues. Email domain names are case-insensitive. Normalize both the configured domains and userEmailDomain before comparison. (rfc-editor.org)
