Step 17: Check OTP for Email
POST {{authPath}}/{{envID}}/flows/{{flowID}}
To complete the MFA action, the flow service calls the POST /{{envID}}/flows/{{flowID}} endpoint operation and uses the application/vnd.pingidentity.otp.check+json custom media type in the Content-type HTTP request header to identify the action.
The action asks for a value for the otp value, which was sent in an email message to the user’s email device. If provided, the otp.check action verifies the one-time passcode and completes the flow.
