Passwordless Options

The purpose of this article is to demonstrate how simple it is to set up and use the new Single Page Application SDK, and authenticate a user in your application using Auth0's Universal Login Page.

This Auth0 Quickstart was modified to use passwordless Email and passwordless sms to login. Please make sure both connections are activated for your auth0 application when starting this application.

The connection parameter is added to the authorize call when sending the user to Universal Login in the app.js file.

const options = {
  authorizationParams: {
    redirect_uri: window.location.origin,
    connection: "email"
  }
};

Using email as connection parameter will enforce passwordless email.

const options = {
  authorizationParams: {
    redirect_uri: window.location.origin,
    connection: "sms"
  }
};

Using email as connection parameter will enforce passwordless sms.

  "clientId": "YOURCLIENTID"
}

Installation

After cloning the repository, run:

$ npm install

This will install all of the necessary packages in order for the sample to run.

Running the Application

This version of the application uses an Express server that can serve the site from a single page. To start the app from the terminal, run:

$ npm run dev

Frequently Asked Questions

We are compiling a list of questions and answers regarding the new JavaScript SDK - if you're having issues running the sample applications, check the FAQ!

What is Auth0?

Auth0 helps you to:

Add authentication with multiple authentication sources, either social like Google, Facebook, Microsoft Account, LinkedIn, GitHub, Twitter, Box, Salesforce, among others, or enterprise identity systems like Windows Azure AD, Google Apps, Active Directory, ADFS or any SAML Identity Provider.
Add authentication through more traditional username/password databases.
Add support for linking different user accounts with the same user.
Support for generating signed Json Web Tokens to call your APIs and flow the user identity securely.
Analytics of how, when and where users are logging in.
Pull data from other sources and add it to the user profile, through JavaScript rules.
