Hi @cre1,

Welcome to the Auth0 Community!

As mentioned in this post, you will need to create two different `/authorize` links for your users, one sending them to an email/password connection and the other one to a passwordless connection if you want to support both sign-in methods:

> 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 endpoi…

If you have any other questions, feel free to reach out.

Have a good one,  
Vlad
