Verify Email Addresses with Async Email

Send email messages to internal and external users to ensure they’re registered with a valid email address that they own. Async email messages contain a verification link (URL). Users simply click the link to verify their email address. After verifying their email address, external users can log in with one-time password (OTP) via email (passwordless login).
