@chilly-king-10285 how do I verify the recovery code using the I can put an email in the 
FrontendApiUpdateRecoveryFlowRequest
then I receive a mail with a code, but how do I confirm it? if I set only the code in the body the request fails with "Property email is missing." but if I set the email it seems that I get a recovered session, however I received another recovery-verification code

To verify the recovery code, you need to make a POST request to the 
/self-service/verification
endpoint. However, the process involves two steps: 1. First, you submit the user's email. This will trigger the sending of the recovery code to the user's email. The request body should include the 
method
set to 
code
, the 
email
, and the 
csrf_token
. Here is an example of how to do it using cURL:
Copy code
bash curl -X POST \       -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \       -H 'Accept: application/json' \       -b cookies.txt \       -d '{"method":"code","email":"[email protected]","csrf_token":"your-csrf-token"}' \       "https://$<http://PROJECT_SLUG.projects.oryapis.com/self-service/verification?flow=<your-flow-id|PROJECT_SLUG.projects.oryapis.com/self-service/verification?flow=<your-flow-id>>"
(Source: [Ory Documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/bring-your-own-ui/custom-ui-basic-integration#submit-verification-flow)) 2. After the user receives the code, you need to submit the code for verification. However, when submitting the code, you should not include the email field in the request body. If you include the email field, it will invalidate the sent code and re-send a new code. If you're still encountering issues, it might be due to the specific implementation of your application or a potential issue with the Ory Kratos API. You might want to check the [Ory Kratos API Reference](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/reference/api) for more details or reach out to the Ory community for further assistance.

@chilly-king-10285 but I am doing excatly this, here is an example of my request body which results in the error:
Copy code
{
  "method": "code",
  "csrf_token": "gMojX35LnfOl375bExqhNVxD/Y3RVz7t3KH2QToOC3zicAnd3bbRHCJeAxuusbaBa+jTGw8ljReY7nFosjFd5w==",
  "code": "413482"
}

The error you're encountering might be due to the specific implementation of your application or a potential issue with the Ory Kratos API. The request body you're using seems to be correct according to the [Ory Kratos API Reference](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/reference/api). However, it's important to note that the 
csrf_token
is only required for browser login flows. If you're not using a browser login flow, you might not need to include the 
csrf_token
. If you're still encountering issues, I would recommend reaching out to the Ory community or support for further assistance. They might be able to provide more specific guidance based on the details of your implementation and the exact error message you're receiving.

@chilly-king-10285 pardon me but your api says something different if I try to execute the recovery-flow without csrf_token:
Copy code
{
  "error": {
    "id": "security_csrf_violation",
    "code": 403,
    "status": "Forbidden",
    "request": "9704f4bc-4bcd-9bb8-8f41-875adf2f2c8b",
    "reason": "Please retry the flow and optionally clear your cookies. The request was rejected to protect you from Cross-Site-Request-Forgery (CSRF) which could cause account takeover, leaking personal information, and other serious security issues.",
    "details": {
      "docs": "<https://www.ory.sh/kratos/docs/debug/csrf>",
      "hint": "The anti-CSRF cookie was found but the CSRF token was not included in the HTTP request body (csrf_token) nor in the HTTP Header (X-CSRF-Token).",
      "reject_reason": "The HTTP Cookie Header was set and a CSRF token was sent but they do not match. We recommend deleting all cookies for this domain and retrying the flow."
    },
    "message": "the request was rejected to protect you from Cross-Site-Request-Forgery"
  }
}

I apologize for the confusion. You're correct, the 
csrf_token
is indeed required for browser flows as per the [Ory Kratos API Reference](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/reference/api). The error message you're receiving indicates that the CSRF token was not included in the HTTP request body or in the HTTP Header. The CSRF token is used to protect against Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks. It should be included in the request body with the key 
csrf_token
. The value for this token is usually set in a hidden input field in the form. Here's an example of how your request body should look like:
Copy code
json {   "method": "code",   "csrf_token": "your-csrf-token",   "code": "your-recovery-code" }
Please replace 
"your-csrf-token"
and 
"your-recovery-code"
with your actual CSRF token and recovery code. If you're still encountering issues, it might be due to the CSRF token not matching the anti-CSRF cookie. The error message suggests deleting all cookies for this domain and retrying the flow. For more information on handling CSRF issues, you can refer to the [Ory Kratos CSRF Documentation](https://www.ory.sh/kratos/docs/debug/csrf).

@chilly-king-10285 is it that the api is responding with a 422 looking like this
Copy code
{
  "error": {
    "id": "browser_location_change_required",
    "code": 422,
    "status": "Unprocessable Entity",
    "reason": "In order to complete this flow please redirect the browser to: <http://localhost:5100/ui/settings?flow=cde50af0-41a2-4c22-827f-daa96323ef7f>",
    "message": "browser location change required"
  },
  "redirect_browser_to": "<http://localhost:5100/ui/settings?flow=cde50af0-41a2-4c22-827f-daa96323ef7f>"
}
after I have sucessfully recoved an identity

Yes, the response you're seeing is expected. The 
422 Unprocessable Entity
status code with the 
browser_location_change_required
error is used by Ory Kratos to indicate that a flow (in this case, the recovery flow) requires a browser to change its location. The 
redirect_browser_to
field in the response provides the URL to which the user's browser needs to be redirected to complete the flow. In your case, it's pointing to the settings page with a specific flow ID. This is part of Ory Kratos' design to handle various flows (like login, registration, recovery, etc.) in a stateful manner, allowing for complex multi-step and multi-factor processes. You can find more details about this in the [Ory Kratos API Reference](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/reference/api). For handling this in a Single Page Application (SPA), you can refer to the [Ory Kratos SPA and the '422' error documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/bring-your-own-ui/custom-ui-advanced-integration#spas-and-the-422-error).
