Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The Email docs explain how email verification and password reset can be performed via a token/URL, but do not mention that an OTP can be used instead.

Describe the solution you'd like
Improve the Email docs by adding references to the Email OTP plugin as an alternative method to verify a user's email or reset a user's password via an OTP. It could also reference the proposed Email OTP Guide when merged.

Describe alternatives you've considered
As an alternative, the proposed Email OTP Guide could be integrated into the Email page.
