Auth0 Pre Login custom hook

Help

Is it possible to have a pre-login hook as we have for post-login or pre-registration?
Our goal is to run a code before auth0’s login happens.

The issue is that we want to migrate users from an existing system to auth0, without specifying the other operations like create a user or change a password.

So if it’s not possible with a custom DB connection, then we would like to do the same with a script.

A similar thing is possible through AWS Cognito, where we can run pre-login hooks.

We are using auth0’s universal login UI.

Hey there!

Unfortunately we only have post-user registration hook and pre-user registration one. I would advocate for that by using our [Feedback category] and filing in a feature request. Thank you!

We also have the need for a pre-login hook / action. Any news on this one? Or can I upvote somewhere?

@konrad.sopala Any update on the pre-login flow action? I’m looking for the same to implement OTP verification bypass for automation testing usecase.

We also could use this. Our need is we want the login user to enter their email address (identifier first login), then we intercept (auth0 action) that request, look up the user in our database and redirect them to the correct company SSO. The reason we have to do it this way is we have companies that have lots of clients with different email addresses that go through their SSO.

Second this. We want a local/global account with a single linked idp. This is to normalize all users. In this case we want to force the use of the linked idp for a given email domain. I.e alice@corp.com MUST login with Corp.com SSO. Bob@whatever.com can login in all ways Local or linked.

Another way to look at it is if I see a Corp.com email it’s just a lookup to use the Corp.com company sso.

We would also like this feature. Our need would be to strip special characters from an email address, which we are using as the username for other applications.
