Hey! I’m curious if it might be possible to enable email verification with a code directly from Keycloak’s configuration. I’ve already seen that it can be done using a link, but that’s not my requirement.

I’ve been checking Keycloak’s repository, and I see they reference what I’m looking for:

[email-verification-with-code.ftl](https://github.com/keycloak/keycloak/blob/main/themes/src/main/resources/theme/base/email/html/email-verification-with-code.ftl)

Or does this perhaps refer to a different functionality?

How can I enable it?

Not sure what that template does, as I can’t find other references in the code. Unless that is some new/hidden functionality, I don’t believe it is used.

If you need to implement a similar thing, I have an extension that does [Email OTP](https://github.com/p2-inc/keycloak-magic-link?tab=readme-ov-file#email-otp) that you could probably use as a base.
