To resend a code in the same flow ID for registration, recovery, or verification flows in Ory Kratos, you need to submit a request with the

resend

parameter. Based on the knowledge sources, here's how to do it: ## For Registration Flow When using the code method for registration, you can resend the code by including the

resend

parameter in your request:

json {   "method": "code",   "resend": "code",   "traits": {     // your identity traits here   } }

The

resend

parameter restarts the flow with a new code while maintaining the same flow ID [Ory API Reference](https://www.ory.sh/docs/reference/api). ## For Recovery Flow For recovery flows, you can resend the code by submitting a request with the

email

field:

json {   "method": "code",   "email": "<mailto:user@example.com|user@example.com>" }

In the UI, this is typically represented by a "Resend code" button that submits the email value [Docs > Kratos > Bring-your-own-ui > Integration basics > Recovery](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/bring-your-own-ui/custom-ui-basic-integration#submit-recovery-flow). ## For Verification Flow Similarly for verification flows, you can resend the code by submitting a request with the email field:

json {   "method": "code",   "email": "<mailto:user@example.com|user@example.com>" }

The UI typically includes a "Resend code" button that submits this request [Docs > Kratos > Bring-your-own-ui > Integration basics > Verification flow](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/bring-your-own-ui/custom-ui-basic-integration#submit-verification-flow). Note that there is a known issue with the UI node grouping for recovery flow (GitHub issue #3980) where trying to resend a code fails since the code is required, which creates a poor user experience. This issue has been reported in Kratos version 1.2.0 [Github Issue (open): Incorrect UI Node Grouping For Recovery Flow](https://github.com/ory/kratos/issues/3980).

Based on the knowledge sources provided, there's no specific information about maximum limits for code resends in Ory Kratos. The documentation doesn't mention any built-in maximum number of times a verification or recovery code can be regenerated or resent within the same flow. However, it's worth noting that Ory Kratos does have protection mechanisms against account enumeration attacks, as mentioned in [Github Issue #133](https://github.com/ory/kratos/issues/133), which suggests there might be some rate limiting or security measures in place, though specific limits aren't detailed. If you need to implement specific rate limiting for code resends in your application, you would likely need to handle this at your application level or check if there are configuration options in Kratos that aren't covered in the provided knowledge sources. For more detailed information about rate limiting or maximum resend attempts, you might want to check the complete Ory Kratos documentation or reach out to Ory support directly.

Yes, you can configure the expiration time for verification and recovery codes in Ory Kratos. Based on the knowledge sources, here's how to set the code to expire after 1 minute: ### Configuration for Code Expiration You can configure the lifespan of verification or recovery codes by adjusting the

lifespan

parameter in your configuration:

yaml selfservice:   methods:     code:       enabled: true       config:         # Defines how long the verification or recovery code is valid for         lifespan: 1m  # Set to 1 minute

This configuration applies to both verification and recovery flows when using the code method. ### Specific Flow Configuration You can also set the lifespan for specific flows: For verification flows:

yaml selfservice:   flows:     verification:       use: code       enabled: true       lifespan: 1m  # Flow UI interaction lifespan

For recovery flows:

yaml selfservice:   flows:     recovery:       enabled: true       lifespan: 1m       use: code

### How to Update Configuration You can update this configuration using the Ory CLI: 1. Download your current configuration:

ory get identity-config --project <project-id> --workspace <workspace-id> --format yaml > identity-config.yaml

2. Update the configuration with the 1-minute lifespan 3. Apply the updated configuration:

ory update identity-config --project <project-id> --workspace <workspace-id> --file identity-config.yaml

This will set your OTP code to expire after 1 minute as requested. [Docs > Kratos > Self-service > Flows > Account recovery and password reset](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/self-service/flows/account-recovery-password-reset#configuration) [Docs > Kratos > Self-service > Flows > Address verification](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/self-service/flows/verify-email-account-activation)

Yes, you can configure the expiration time for registration flows in Ory Kratos as well. Based on the knowledge sources, here's how to set the registration flow to expire after a specific time period: ### Registration Flow Expiration Configuration You can set the lifespan of the registration flow in your configuration:

yaml selfservice:   flows:     registration:       lifespan: 1m  # Set to 1 minute       enabled: true

This configuration controls how long the registration flow (the UI interaction) remains valid. After this period expires, users will see an error message like "The registration flow expired 1.00 minutes ago, please try again. (4040001)" and will need to restart the registration process. ### Implementation Details When a registration flow expires, Ory Kratos returns an error message with ID 4040001 as documented in [Docs > Kratos > Concepts > ui-messages](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/concepts/ui-messages#the-registration-flow-expired-100-minutes-ago-please-try-again-4040001). Note that this is different from the code expiration time. The registration flow lifespan controls how long the entire registration UI interaction can last, while the code lifespan (if you're using the code method) controls how long the verification code itself is valid. To update this configuration using the Ory CLI, follow the same process as before: 1. Download your current configuration 2. Update the registration lifespan value 3. Apply the updated configuration This will set your registration flow to expire after the specified time period.

Based on the knowledge sources provided, there is no specific information about a configuration option for setting maximum retries or attempts for verification or recovery codes in Ory Kratos. The documentation doesn't mention any built-in setting that would allow you to limit the number of times a user can attempt to validate a code before it's considered invalid. The documentation does show that you can configure: - The lifespan of codes (how long they remain valid) - Whether to notify unknown recipients - Various other flow settings However, there's an indication in [Github Issue #133](https://github.com/ory/kratos/issues/133) that Ory Kratos has some protection against account enumeration attacks, which suggests there might be some security measures in place, though specific retry limits aren't detailed in the provided knowledge sources. If you need to implement a maximum retry limit for code validation, you might need to: 1. Check if there are newer Ory Kratos features not covered in the provided documentation 2. Implement this logic at your application level 3. Contact Ory support for more specific guidance on this use case Would you like me to provide information about other security configurations that are available in Ory Kratos?
