Hi @ampossardt,

There is no real way for the system to let you know ahead of time if you are going to use the email with a username/password connection or an email passwordless connection. If there is a database connection in place for your application, that one will always be the default. If no database connection has been setup but a passwordless connection has, then that one will be used. This is done for security reasons.

If you want to use both, you’ll have to create two `/authorize` endpoints, each with the connection that you want to use. Otherwise, you’ll have to choose to only use one.

If you have any other question feel free to reach out.

Have a good one,  
Vlad
