Strange behavior when login as admin, requiring the recovery codes

So I’ve installed the Keycloak 18.0.0 as docker and I get this error when I’m trying to login as admin: Unable to find factory for Required Action: CONFIGURE_RECOVERY_AUTHN_CODES

It’s very strange, because I have just this ENV KC_FEATURES=authorization,impersonation,client-policies,dynamic-scopes as features. I must say that I’ve tried the recovery_code function with another pod, that used the same DB (so one solution will be to delete the db, but let’s say I don’t want to do that, is there another way?)

Any ideas?

And just as curiosity, is there a documentation on how actually to do the code recovery stuff? (Didn’t find anything to understand better the process).

Detailed error:

 [org.keycloak.services] (executor-thread-0) KC-SERVICES0013: Failed authentication: java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to find factory for Required Action: CONFIGURE_RECOVERY_AUTHN_CODES did you forget to declare it in a META-INF/services file?

CONFIGURE_RECOVERY_AUTHN_CODES is a preview feature and had bug up untill version 19.

You have two options.

  1. Go to the required_action_provider table and disable CONFIGURE_RECOVERY_AUTHN_CODES action per each realm.

  2. Try the latest version.

I encounter the same problem. Here I build my docker image with the latest version already.

I found that all the preview feature will cause this problem.
But I need the user profile and update email.
I didn’t find this until I switch to production.

UPDATE:
Solved.

  1. Change RUN /opt/keycloak/bin/kc.sh build to RUN /opt/keycloak/bin/kc.sh build --features preview.
  2. Remove ENV KC_FEATURES=preview.
