We would be open to that. It would be great if you could start with
describing it in more detail first though. It's pretty simple to implement
something like that, but making it user friendly and a generic feature is
more complicated. See
https://github.com/stianst/keycloak-experimental/tree/master/magic-link for
instance. It does passwordless, but it's not very nice for those setting up
Keycloak or the end user.

I presume you are talking about a SMS with the one time password?
