Add Email OTP login

Email OTP is a form of passwordless authentication. It allows users to log in by providing a one-time passcode sent to their email instead of entering a password.

Prerequisites

• To get started, you need to register an application with Asgardeo. You can register your own application or use one of the sample applications provided.

• You need to have a user account in Asgardeo. If you don't already have one, create a user account in Asgardeo.

  You cannot use an administrator account to log in to an application.
