Applies To

  • Signup Page
  • Redirects
  • Users

Solution

Please follow the video or the steps below:

  • If using the New Universal Login Experience:
    • The user can make users land directly on the Signup page instead of the Login page by specifying the screen_hint=signup parameter when redirecting to /authorize. NOTE: This can be combined with prompt=login, which indicates if the user wants to always show the authentication page or wants to skip if there’s an existing session.
  • If using Classic Universal Login, they can utilize the initialScreen option to accomplish this:
    • In the Dashboard, configure custom login page to look for an incoming query parameter related to this operation. For example:
      var isSignup = config.extraParams && config.extraParams.action === "signup";
var lock = new Auth0Lock(config.clientID, config.auth0Domain, {
  [...] // all other Lock options
  // use the value obtained to decide the first screen
  initialScreen: isSignup ? "signUp" : "login",
    • Then, simply add action=signup as a param in the request. From the auth0-spa-js, they could add it like this:
      loginWithRedirect({ action: 'signup' });
