Since the feature Login with device some actions done via the web-vault need to be verified via an OTP instead of providing the MasterPassword.

This only happens if a user used the Login with device on a device which uses either Biometrics login or PIN. These actions prevent the athorizing device to send the MasterPasswordHash. When this happens, the web-vault requests an OTP to be filled-in and this OTP is send to the users email address which is the same as the email address to login.

The only way to bypass this is by logging in with the your password, in those cases a password is requested instead of an OTP.

In case SMTP is not enabled, it will show an error message telling to user to login using there password.

Fixes #4042
