Customizing text on the universal login prompts

Hi Team,

I are currently working on customizing the login prompts. Specifically, we need to update the “Title” field on the login-password screen to dynamically include the user’s first name.

For example: “Welcome back to David”

I have tried using different syntaxes to achieve this, but nothing seems to be working. Tried with syntaxes (2. {{firstname}}
3. {{username}}
4. ${user.email}
)
Can we reference the first name attribute dynamically on the login-password screen? if so how to do it?

Request your response on this

Thanks

Hi @chaitrk

Welcome to the Auth0 Community!

Unfortunately, the list of variables is quite limited in order to customize the Universal Login prompts. This list can be seen here.

Variable Description
${clientName} Auth0 Application Name
${connectionName} Connection Name (e.g. Google)
${tenantName} Auth0 Tenant name
${organizationName} Name of the user’s organization if the user is authenticating in the context of an Organization
${companyName} Auth0 Tenant name, or Organization name if the user is authenticating in the context of an Organization
${userName} Name of the logged user
${email} Email of the logged user
${appName} Name of the custom Guardian Push application

Otherwise, you have the option to customize the templates. You can read more about that in our documentation. When customizing templates, you have access to user information such as user.family_name or user.given_name.

If you have any other questions, feel free to let me know!

Kind Regards,
Nik

Hi again!

I was able to reproduce the mentioned behaviour on my tenant. As mentioned by the documentation:

Some screens have variables in the text that are replaced at runtime based on contextual information. As different variables are available for each screen, it is not guaranteed that a given variable will work anywhere other than their original screen.

This means that the behaviour would be expected and the mentioned variables are not available through the specific login-psassword screen. I would recommend to submit a post on our Feedback page regarding making the variables available through all screens and prompts. In the meantime, I will confirm with our engineer if this behaviour is indeed expected.

If you have any other questions, feel free to let me know!

Kind Regards,
Nik

I have confirmed this internally and it appears that those variables would require the user to be already authenticated and they are not available on the login-password prompt.

As I have advised above, a suitable alternative to this would be to customize the page templates.

Let me know if I can help anything else!

Kind Regards,
Nik
