Customize Lock Error Messages
You can customize the error messages that will be displayed in certain situations by providing a languageDictionary
option. A full listing of available languageDictionary
fields to customize can be found in the GitHub repository's English Dictionary file for Lock. Below is an example of some customized error messages:
// Examples of customized error messages in the languageDictionary option
var options = {
languageDictionary: {
error: {
login: {
"lock.invalid_email_password": "Custom message about invalid credentials",
"lock.network": "Custom message indicating a network error and suggesting the user check connection",
"lock.unauthorized": "Custom message about a failure of permissions",
"too_many_attempts": "Custom message indicating the user has failed to login too many times."
},
signUp: {
"invalid_password": "Custom message indicating a password was invalid",
"user_exists": "Custom message indicating that a user already exists"
}
}
}
};
// Initiating our Auth0Lock
var lock = new Auth0Lock(
'{yourClientId}',
'{yourDomain}',
options
);
