Hi all,

I’m new to Keycloak so any advice / help is greatly appreciated. I have been tasked with changing the default setting for “Configure OTP” under “Authentication” to Enabled. After checking our realm.json file I don’t see anything obvious to update, so I imagine I must add the code to do this; can anyone explain to me what I need to do to achieve this?

TIA,  
Jason
