What the Email Verification Send OTP API does

Email Verification Send OTP delivers a one-time password to the email address supplied, starting the verification of that address.

Sending an OTP proves more than a format check ever could. It establishes that the address exists, accepts mail, and is being read by whoever is completing your flow.

Where teams use the Email Verification Send OTP API

  1. Verifying an email address at sign-up

  2. Confirming an address change on an account

  3. Establishing a reliable channel before sending statements
