An OTP token's QR code can be sent to the user by email. This process is called "push token" to users.
A token can be pushed to the user by the server automatically or pushed to the user manually by the administrator in the admin console. Either way, a message template called "Push Token" will be used to create the email message. Therefore, you must customize the Push Token message temple first if you want users to receive their token's QR code by email.
