You are currently placing {{ .Token }} inside the link URL:

Sign OTP

That does not show the OTP code to the user. It treats the token as a URL, which is why the email still behaves like a sign-in link.

Use this template instead:

Your sign-in OTP

Use the code below to sign in. It expires shortly and can only be used once.

{{ .Token }}

Then, after sending the email with signInWithOtp, verify the OTP in your app with:

const { data, error } = await supabase.auth.verifyOtp({
email,
token: otp,
type: 'email',
})

Do not use {{ .Token }} inside an href. It should be visible text in the email template.

Also make sure the updated template was saved in the correct Auth email template section before testing again.

Two separate things are going on here:

1. You get a link, not a code. The Magic Link email template sends a link by default. To receive a numeric OTP, edit Auth → Email Templates → Magic Link and add the {{ .Token }} variable — the default template only contains {{ .ConfirmationURL }}. Once the template includes {{ .Token }}, the code returned by signInWithOtp works with verifyOtp.

2. "Error sending magic link email" is almost always the built-in SMTP limit. The default sender is heavily rate-limited and only reliably delivers to your own team addresses. Set up custom SMTP under Auth → SMTP Settings for real usage, and check the Auth rate limits.
