How to send a confirmation email about a FIDO2 device

As an administrator, you can choose to send a confirmation email to the user when they enroll or remove a FIDO2 authenticator from their profile.

Prerequisites

Available in the following SecureAuth® Identity Platform releases:
- Identity Platform release 24.04 or later
- Identity Platform release 23.07 with hotfix 23.07-4 or later

Have FIDO2 WebAuthn global MFA enabled in the Identity Platform

You will need to enable the "send email confirmation" setting in the FIDO2 global MFA. And you optionally can change the default email text.

In the Identity Platform, go to Multi-Factor Methods > FIDO2 (WebAuthn) settings and click the pencil icon.
In the Email Notification section, select the Send confirmation email... check box.
Then, select which email to send to the user. Make sure you have the emails mapped and configured in your data store properties.
