First Login & Email OTP

KMD Agency requires a one-time email code on every password login, for every role — staff and clients alike. There is no setting to turn this off.

How it works

  1. Enter your email and password as usual.
  2. If they’re correct, no session is created yet — you’re taken to a code-entry screen instead, and a 6-digit code is emailed to you.
  3. Enter the code within 8 minutes. Only once it’s verified does a real, logged-in session begin.

If the code doesn’t arrive

Use “Resend code” on the verification screen. Resending is rate-limited to prevent abuse, and it does not reset your remaining attempt count.

If codes never arrive at all, outgoing email likely isn’t configured or is failing — see Email & SMTP Configuration and Troubleshooting: OTP Not Received.

Five attempts, then locked out

Entering the wrong code five times locks that login attempt. Start over from the beginning — you’ll need to enter your password again and receive a fresh code.
