# Test accounts

Test accounts let you sign in with static verification codes during development and testing, without needing access to a real email inbox or SMS.

### Email authentication[​](#email-authentication "Direct link to Email authentication")

Each test account has a unique email in the format `test_account_XXXX@example.com` (where `XXXX` is a randomly generated number shown in the dashboard). Use it to sign in via email passwordless OTP.

### Phone number authentication[​](#phone-number-authentication "Direct link to Phone number authentication")

Each test account has a unique phone number in the format `+1 (555) XXX-XXXX` (where `XXX-XXXX` is shown in the dashboard). Use it to sign in via SMS OTP.

### Static OTP code[​](#static-otp-code "Direct link to Static OTP code")

The dashboard displays a single static OTP code that works for all test account logins. The code does not change unless you refresh it.

2. Check that **Enable Test Accounts** is toggled on under **Project Settings** → **Advanced**.
3. Confirm the email or phone number matches exactly what the dashboard displays. Refresh credentials if needed.
4. Use the static OTP code from the dashboard, not a code from your inbox.
