Is there a way to prevent auth0 from verifying email addresses during a password reset?

It looks as though the default behavior is to verify an users email address following on from a password reset action.

Thanks

Hello @mtunney,

Password reset should not be asking you to verify your email address. I just tested this in a new tenant and was not asked to verify my email after doing a password reset on a user who’s email was not yet verified.

Do you have a rule that might be enforcing email verification?
