- Tell the user to check their junk folder - some email providers, systems, and devices have security in place to prevent spam. An OTP from an unknown provider (like Kinde) might get accidentally treated as such.

## Attack protection settings

Kinde allows you to control the number of sign-in attempts a user gets, how long they get locked out after a failed sign-in attempt, etc. See [Attack protection](/build/set-up-options/attack-protection/).
