Hello, We have enabled email verification on Keycloak, meaning a user receives an email after the registration flow has been completed. Once the user clicks on the link in the email, they are automatically logged in and thus a keycloak session is automatically initiated. We want to customize this flow and stop this automatic login, yet I can’t find a flow for the email verification on the Console. Is anyone aware of how to do this? Thanks, Charlie ---

Email verification is executed in Keycloak by something called an `ActionTokenHandler`. Specifically: [keycloak/VerifyEmailActionTokenHandler.java at main · keycloak/keycloak · GitHub](https://github.com/keycloak/keycloak/blob/main/services/src/main/java/org/keycloak/authentication/actiontoken/verifyemail/VerifyEmailActionTokenHandler.java) In order to change the behavior of this handler, you would have to extend it, and the implement your own `RequiredAction` for initiating the process.
