Basic idea is an option to set up TOTP then be able to ping the service in advance of the email going out.
Reasons this could be helpful:
First from the maintenance standpoint, this could reduce costs as this would preclude the need for an email (not disabling email altogether, but if someone has pinged today already no need to send an email and thus no need to deal with email costs/usage)
For the user side of things:
- Opens up potential for clients apps to turn the ping into a notification they can just tap. (would barely need an api if at all)
- Settings changes can skip the email verification which can be annoying and slow (again one less email for you to send)
- Opens up more security options if someone is more concerned about email security, could optionally require TOTP in addition to the email link as a double security step
- For those with lower security needs, could potentially be used to recover in the case of a lost email account (this would of course need to be set in advance)
