Hello All,

Email based OTP is not there as part of core, any recommended extension for the same?

-Thanks,
Navin

Thinking of using this one: https://github.com/for-keycloak/email-otp-authenticator

But I would like to take views from the community.

-Regards,
Navin

It is a shame that it's not part of core.

I haven't tried it but https://github.com/p2-inc/keycloak-magic-link is listed on https://www.keycloak.org/extensions . That said, the warning at the top of that page says that the extensions are not vetted by the Keycloak team, so that doesn't necessarily mean anything for its trustworthiness. You'd want to double-check the source code.

Hi,

I've just add Email OTP from https://github.com/for-keycloak/email-otp-authenticator, simple just copy to directory where keycloak installed in your env, then setting up things in the keycloak dashboard (Realm-Authentication-Required Actions, Flows, Add Email Auth to each user, modify the page using keycloakify).
Seems working fine.
