Email Binding and Password Recovery

KaLogin can let players bind an email address and recover their password with a verification code.

Enable email features#

email-binding:
  enabled: true
  code-expire-seconds: 300

Configure SMTP#

Fill in your mail server settings in config.yml:

email-binding:
  smtp:
    host: "smtp.qq.com"
    port: 587
    auth: true
    starttls: true
    ssl: true
    username: "xxx@qq.com"
    password: "xxx"
    from-email: "xxx@qq.com"
    from-name: "Server"

Different email providers use different SMTP hosts, ports, and app passwords. Check your provider settings. Many providers do not allow using the normal login password for SMTP.

Player commands#

Command	Use
/bindemail	Open the email binding screen
/bindemail dismiss	Stop the email binding reminder
/recoverpassword	Recover password by email code
/rp	Alias of /recoverpassword

Tips#

Situation	Check
Codes are not received	SMTP host, port, username, password, and spam folder
SMTP send fails	Whether the server can connect to the SMTP port
Public server setup	Ask players to bind email early

Test email sending with your own account before relying on password recovery.
