0D54z00008CRfTMCA1Okta Classic EngineAuthenticationAnswered2025-10-11T09:01:02.000Z2022-10-17T04:28:50.000Z2022-10-17T23:38:11.000Z

ElsieO.75459 (Customer) asked a question.

Email Verification Code for Password Recovery

Can I configure Okta to send a verification code when a user wants to reset their password by email if we're on the classic engine? If so, can we configure the validity of the codes? From my understanding, this can be done in OIE but I don't see this functionality on the classic engine.

    Hi @ElsieO.75459 (Customer)​,

     

    Thank you for posting on the Okta community page!

     

    I have done some research but it seems that this functionality is only supported on the Okta Identity Engine, therefore I assume that you could submit a feature request to have this kind of feature on the Okta Classic Engine as well. The best way to file a feature request would be from the community site.

     

    Once feature requests are submitted they are visible to other Okta admins, who can vote on them to provide more visibility. Using this method will allow you to maintain visibility on your feature requests throughout the process.

    Hi Elsie Ooi ,

    Self Service Password Reset can also be performed through email in classic engine .

    1. For that login to admin console > Security > Authentication > Password
    2. Create a new password policy
    3. In the Account Recovery section select Email as a recovery option
    4. Create a rule in which enable the options for self recovery.

     

    If my answer helped, remember to mark it as best to increase its visibility for other members of the Okta Community who might have the same questions as you.

    Hi Riya,

     

    Thank you for your reponse. We already have email recovery as an option to send the link, but I'm looking for verification code instead.
