Description

I'm using Authentik to manage user authentication and would like to customize the text displayed on the recovery page for accounts that have enabled TOTP (Time-Based One-Time Password) as their primary recovery method. The current default text, "Enter the email associated with your account, and we'll send you a link to reset your password," is misleading for users who rely on TOTP for recovery.

I'm looking for a way to modify this text to accurately reflect the TOTP recovery process, such as "Enter your username to initiate the TOTP recovery process." or something similar.

If there's no direct configuration option for this, could you please provide guidance on how to achieve this customization through custom development or other workarounds? Any information on the specific code locations or configuration files related to the recovery page would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is identified. Start by locating the recovery page implementation and its TOTP recovery branch, then determine how the displayed text could be customized; done means the wording accurately describes TOTP recovery and the customization path is documented.
