Email OTP Verification - PARADOX - 01-08-2026
Email OTP Verification
Replaces standard email links with 6-digit OTP codes for registration, password reset, and activation resend.
Email OTP enhances MyBB account security by replacing traditional email activation links with a secure one-time password (OTP) verification system. Instead of clicking an activation link, new members receive a unique six-digit code by email and simply enter it on the forum to activate their account.
The same OTP system also secures the "Forgot Password" process. Members request a password reset, receive a time-limited verification code via email, enter it, and then create a new password. Every OTP expires automatically after a configurable time, while built-in brute-force protection temporarily blocks repeated invalid attempts and requires users to request a new code if necessary. If an email is delayed or lost, users can resend their verification code at any time.
Email OTP also gives administrators complete control over every verification email. Separate, fully customizable templates are available for account activation, password resets, and resend requests, each with its own subject and HTML message. Templates can be edited using a familiar BBCode editor with support for formatting, colors, fonts, links, images, and automatic forum logo insertion. Emails are sent as rich HTML with a plain-text fallback for maximum compatibility. For improved email delivery, the plugin includes optional SMTP override support, allowing verification emails to be sent through a custom SMTP server instead of the forum's default mail system.
