A few things to have in mind first before tackling the actual questions; [this Lock](https://github.com/auth0/lock) for web applications does not currently have built-in support for passwordless conenctions, however, there’s also [Lock Passwordless](https://github.com/auth0/lock-passwordless) so it is strange if the only reason to switch authentication methods is the library. **Q1** Identities across connections are independent although you can link multiple identities into a single end-user, however, if you want a group of users to stop using passwordless to authenticate and instead use a database connection then linking is not of much use. You should create the respective users in the database connection through the Management API (see these [reference docs](https://auth0.com/docs/users/migrations/bulk-import)); if the existing passwordless users have metadata that you want to transfer then you would have to get that first. **Q2** You can disable email templates in the dashboard in order to prevent any emails. With regards to settings default password I would instead consider not sending any password to end-users and just have them complete a reset password flow in order to set their first password. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.auth0.com/t/migrating-from-passwordles-to-database-connection/9116)._
