How can be verified email factor using authentication API REST?
Hello everyone,
Looking at the documentation of the API REST for authentication. There is a detail that called my attention. In the section of Multifactor Authentication Operations there is a method to enroll Email factor, but there is no method to verify en email factor. Is there any additional documentation to review in order to know how to verify an email factor?
The documentation we are reading is this: https://developer.okta.com/docs/reference/api/authn/*response-example-for-enroll-okta-email-factor
Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks a lot Daniela for the documentation you shared. However I have already look into these documents and I understand these are used to activate/enroll a factor. But, what we want to do is to validate and challenge the user through email.
So we want to trigger Okta to send an OTP via email, and ask the user for the code he has received and then, send that code via API REST to Okta to confirm the MFA.
Kind regards,
