The error message you're seeing indicates that the "name" property is missing in the "traits" section of your settings. This error can occur even if you have set

SELFSERVICE_METHODS_PROFILE_ENABLED

to

false

. The

SELFSERVICE_METHODS_PROFILE_ENABLED

setting controls whether the profile method is enabled, but it doesn't affect the requirement for certain fields in your settings. In the Ory Kratos system, the "traits" section is used to define the identity's traits. According to the [Ory API Reference](https://www.ory.sh/docs/reference/api), the "traits" field is required when updating the settings flow. You should check your settings and ensure that the "name" property is included in the "traits" section. If you're using a JSON schema to define your identity traits, make sure that the "name" field is included in the schema. Here's an example of how the "traits" section might look in your settings:

json "traits": {   "name": "John Doe",   // other traits... }

Please note that the actual structure of the "traits" section can vary depending on your specific use case and the schema you're using to define your identity traits.

The

SELFSERVICE_METHODS_PROFILE_ENABLED

setting in Ory Kratos controls whether the profile method is enabled or not. When it's set to

true

, users can update their profile information, such as their name or email address. When it's set to

false

, the profile method is disabled and users cannot update their profile information. However, the "traits" field is a fundamental part of the identity in Ory Kratos, and it's always required, regardless of the

SELFSERVICE_METHODS_PROFILE_ENABLED

setting. The "traits" field represents an identity's traits, and the identity is able to create, modify, and delete traits in a self-service manner. The input will always be validated against the JSON Schema defined in

schema_url

as per the [Ory API Reference](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/reference/api). So, even if you have

SELFSERVICE_METHODS_PROFILE_ENABLED

set to

false

, you still need to provide the "traits" field when creating or updating an identity. This is because the "traits" field is a core part of the identity, and it's used by Ory Kratos to manage the identity's information.

Based on the information provided in the knowledge sources, a sample request to create or update an identity in Ory Kratos might look like this:

json {   "traits": {     "name": "John Doe",     // other traits...   } }

This is a JSON object that includes the "traits" field. The "traits" field is another JSON object that includes the traits of the identity. In this example, the "name" trait is set to "John Doe". Please note that the actual structure of the "traits" field can vary depending on your specific use case and the schema you're using to define your identity traits. You should refer to your identity schema to determine the exact structure of the "traits" field. Also, remember that this is just the body of the request. You would need to make an HTTP request (like a POST or PUT request) to the appropriate Ory Kratos API endpoint, and include this JSON object in the body of the request. The exact details of how to make this request can depend on various factors, such as your programming language or HTTP library.

If you're trying to remove the backup codes (also known as Lookup Secrets) for a user, you would typically generate a new set of backup codes. This is because when a new set of codes is generated, the previously generated codes become invalid, effectively removing them. According to the [Ory documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/mfa/lookup-secrets), users can download a server-generated set of one-time codes. Each code is valid for single use only and doesn't expire after a set amount of time. When the user generates a new set of codes, previously generated codes become invalid. Here's an example of a message that generates new backup recovery codes:

json {   "id": 1050008,   "text": "Generate new backup recovery codes",   "type": "info" }

Please note that the actual process of generating new backup codes can depend on various factors, such as your specific implementation of Ory Kratos and the user's current authentication state. You should refer to the Ory Kratos documentation and your own application's code for more specific instructions.

Based on the information provided in the knowledge sources, a sample payload for updating an identity in Ory Kratos might look like this:

bash curl -X POST \  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \  -H 'Accept: application/json' \  -d '{"method":"password","csrf_token":"your-csrf-token","traits.email":"[email protected]","password":"verystrongpassword","traits.tos":"true","transient_payload.consents":"newsletter,usage_stats"}' \  -b cookies.txt \  -c cookies.txt \  "https://{project.slug}.<http://projects.oryapis.com/self-service/registration?flow=<your-flow-id|projects.oryapis.com/self-service/registration?flow=<your-flow-id>>"

This is a cURL command that sends a POST request to the Ory Kratos API. The

-d

option is used to specify the request payload, which is a JSON object. In this JSON object: -

"method"

is set to

"password"

, indicating that the password method is being used. -

"csrf_token"

is set to

"your-csrf-token"

. You should replace

"your-csrf-token"

with your actual CSRF token. -

"traits.email"

is set to

"[email protected]"

. This is the email trait of the identity. You should replace

"[email protected]"

with the actual email address of the identity. -

"password"

is set to

"verystrongpassword"

. This is the password of the identity. You should replace

"verystrongpassword"

with the actual password of the identity. -

"traits.tos"

is set to

"true"

, indicating that the terms of service have been accepted. -

"transient_payload.consents"

is set to

"newsletter,usage_stats"

. This is an example of transient data that gets forwarded to webhooks without being persisted by Ory. Please note that the actual structure of the request payload can vary depending on your specific use case and the schema you're using to define your identity traits. You should refer to your identity schema to determine the exact structure of the request payload. Also, remember that this is just the body of the request. You would need to make an HTTP request (like a POST or PUT request) to the appropriate Ory Kratos API endpoint, and include this JSON object in the body of the request. The exact details of how to make this request can depend on various factors, such as your programming language or HTTP library.
