Refactors all One-Time Tokens (OTP) used for sign-in with email, SMS, email confirmation, phone confirmation, change... to achieve:

  • Performance (as current method does not use an index due to the use of partial indexes which cannot be used in practice)
  • Future enhancements (such as OTP verification counters, adaptive OTP lengths, etc.)

Summary of the change:

  • A new one_time_tokens table is added which uses a double-write mechanism with users.
  • Each new OTP is both written in the corresponding users column and as a new row in one_time_tokens.
  • Lookup for an OTP hash is performed first in one_time_tokens and if not found, using the traditional users approach.
  • In a few days, once all OTPs using the users columns have expired, a new change will be deployed which removes the users lookup. This completely solves the performance issue for looking up OTPs.
  • In a future change, the one_time_tokens table can be used to add a verification counter based on lookups on the relates_to (email or phone number) column, enabling new security features.

While testing the different OTP flows, I noticed that when secure email change is disabled, a row is created in one_time_tokens for email_change_token_current but no token_hash is present.

We should only be creating a one_time_token for email_change_token_new and not for email_change_token_current

Right this is because the code maps 1:1 to the column. Because we set the column to be '' it also ends up in one_time_tokens. I'll fix that.

yeah i think it's better if we simply don't insert a row into one_time_tokens if the token_hash is empty
