Hello there,

I am implementing open registration. Now the user gets the code.  
Want to use my own ConfirmationForm.  
I posted to… /api/v2/user/register?login=false  
{  
“email”: "name@provider.com",  
“new\_password”: “_Password_”,  
“code”: “_codefromMail_”  
}

Response

```
{
  "error": {
    "context": {
      "email": [
        "The email has already been taken."
      ]
    },
    "message": "Validation failed",
    "code": 400
  }
}

```

What am I missing?

Hi Alex,

Yes I found this Wiki Entry allready, as far as that Information goes, everything works fine.  
But now I have my Code and don’t know what to do with it.  
I also read several old Community Post, but they didn’t work.

I just intended to link the post I read earlier, didn’t find them, but found this:

> [@What's wrong with my user registration & confirmation](https://community.dreamfactory.com/t/whats-wrong-with-my-user-registration-confirmation/2722):

☹ no doesn’t work. Bad Request. No wonder since the model looks like this:

```
Register {
   email (string): Email address of the new user. ,
   first_name (string, optional): First name of the new user. ,
   last_name (string, optional): Last name of the new user. ,
   display_name (string, optional): Full display name of the new user. ,
   new_password (string, optional): Password for the new user. ,
code (string, optional): Code required with new_password when using email confirmation.
}
```

Soo after updating DF to 2.2.3 posting the following rescource to

```
[INSTANCE]/api/v2/user/password

```

does the job:

```
{
    'email': "theem@il.user",
    'code': "CODE FROM MAIL",
    'new_password': "PWD",
    'verify_password': "PWD"
}
```
