Current Demo Mode Operation

1. User requests OTP

POST /auth/request-otp
{
  "email": "user@example.com",
  "phone": "1234567890"
}

2. Backend generates OTP

  • Generates random 6-digit OTP
  • Stores in memory (5-min expiry)
  • Logs to console: 
    ===============================================================
DEMO MODE - OTP GENERATED
Email: user@example.com
Phone: 1234567890
OTP: 123456
===============================================================
  • ❌ NO EMAIL SENT

3. Backend returns OTP in response

{
  "success": true,
  "message": "OTP generated successfully (Demo Mode)",
  "data": {
    "success": true,
    "otp": "123456",
    "demoMode": true,
    "message": "Demo Mode: OTP displayed below..."
  }
}

4. Frontend displays OTP modal

  • Shows "Demo Authentication Mode" notice
  • Displays OTP in large font
  • Provides copy button
  • Shows email and expiry
  • User can copy or read OTP

5. User verifies OTP

POST /auth/verify-otp
{
  "email": "user@example.com",
  "phone": "1234567890",
  "otp": "123456"
}

6. Backend validates and issues JWT

  • Validates OTP against stored value
  • Checks if not expired
  • Creates/updates user
  • Issues JWT token
  • User authenticated ✅

No Longer Supported

❌ Email sending via SMTP
❌ Email configuration properties
❌ SMTP credentials
❌ JavaMailSender bean
❌ Mail exceptions
❌ Email validation in backend

Production-Ready

✅ For Demo: Works perfectly without email config
✅ For Testing: OTP visible in console and modal
✅ For Recruiter Demo: Easy to verify authentication
✅ For Deployment: No SMTP configuration needed
