Recover an account with the emailed token and a recovery code.

POST
/v1/auth/recover/finish
curl --request POST \
  --url https://api.opdns.io/v1/auth/recover/finish \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{ "token": "example", "recovery_code": "example", "password": "example" }'

The token from the recovery email plus one unused recovery code set a new password. The code is consumed, TOTP is removed (enrol a second factor again; passkeys are kept), every session is revoked and the cookie cleared, other recovery and reset links stop working, and a notice is emailed. Audited (auth.account_recovered, auth.recovery_failed). A wrong or used code is 401 invalid_recovery_code and leaves the token usable; failed codes are limited per account (429). Token failures are 400 invalid_token, token_expired or token_used.

Section titled “422”

The request failed validation (validation_failed), or the new password was refused: password_too_short (under 12 characters), password_too_long (over 128). Length is counted in Unicode code points and the password is used as sent (no normalisation). A password problem alongside other invalid fields is validation_failed listing them all. errors names the password field.
