Send a One-Time Passcode (OTP) to a User using their email. If you'd like to create a user and send them a passcode with one request, use our log in or create endpoint.
Add an email to an existing user
This endpoint also allows you to add a new email address to an existing Stytch User. Including a user_id, session_token, or session_jwt in your Send one-time passcode by email request will add the new, unverified email address to the existing Stytch User. If the user successfully authenticates within 5 minutes, the new email address will be marked as verified and remain permanently on the existing Stytch User. Otherwise, it will be removed from the User object, and any subsequent login requests using that email address will create a new User.
Next steps
