Please provide cancel/back button options in universal login

Customisation option to close the Login/signup form to redirect back to Origin

Just like this: Providing redirect to the close button when using the hosted universal login

Hi, I’m evaluating Auth0 for integration into an online service. The very first thing I noticed is the user can’t back out of the Universal Login page. This is such a glaring omission that I at first thought there is some fundamental reason for it’s absence. Can you dig a little deeper into this? This is a violation of fundamental UX design principals, so it’s worth the extra effort on your part.

Writing to anyone who might search for it. You can add it manually by entering the following code to the Universal Login custom page.
After lock.show(), add:

let closeButton = document.querySelector(".auth0-lock-close-button");
closeButton.addEventListener('click', function handleClick(event) {
			history.back()
});

I have done this but it does not change anything in my universal login page, is there any other step that I might be missing?

My bad, I was missing to set the closable property to true. If anyone is still struggling with this issue you need to do 2 things in the Universal Login custom page:

  1. Find the closable property within the var lock = new Auth0Lock(config.clientID, config.auth0Domain, { code block and set it to true (it’s at the end of it).
  2. Add the code suggested by Omer_G after the line with lock.show()

I hope you find this helpfull :wink:
