Howdy. Was wondering what the difference is between creating a user and sending them a password recovery link, and inviting a user? Are they essentially equivalent except that inviting a user prompts for firstname and lastname?

afaik "creating a user and sending them a password recovery link" is the way to invite users to Ory Kratos at the moment.

we do have an issue open to improve this a bit:
