* **Email is off**: email verification and password reset are disabled because no mail server is set up. To turn them on, add your SMTP settings to the service variables, remove `EMAIL_VERIFICATION_DISABLED` and `PASSWORD_RESET_DISABLED`, and redeploy. The [Formbricks docs](https://formbricks.com/docs/self-hosting/configuration/smtp) list the variables.
