​
Rate Limiting

This endpoint is rate limited to prevent abuse:
  • General verification: 10 attempts per minute per IP
  • SMS verification: 5 attempts per minute per phone number
  • Password recovery: 3 attempts per minute per email

​
Security Features

  • Token Expiration: Verification tokens expire after a set time
  • Single Use: Tokens can only be used once
  • Type Validation: Strict validation of verification types
  • Rate Limiting: Protection against brute force attacks
