Email with OTP

The email OTP method verifies your identity by sending a one-time password (OTP) to your registered email address. When you initiate a login, the server sends an email containing the OTP to the designated address. This OTP is valid for a single-use authentication within a brief time frame.

Prerequisites

If you're on a default plan, the default Email Provider will already be configured. If you have a Custom plan, ensure that you set up an Email Provider before proceeding with the steps below.
