mbox sign-in portal supports user self-registration via email, and sends email OTP and validation link to a valid email address (see live demo).

The OTP email can be sent by mbox default SMTP server (which is using gmail with account info@ransnet.com) or by customer's own/custom SMTP email server.

To configure custom SMTP mail server, 

- go to CMS, click on the target portal setting, under login method, enable Email Registration.

- In Email Registration collapsible tab, this is where you are going to input your SMTP Details. See  screenshot:
