Passwordless sms connection doesn't create a session

Hello there,

I have been creating passwordless users and I noticed for each user there is no session creating at auth0 side. I tried to fetch sessions for a particular user and it shows me session count is 0. Does that mean auth0 doesn’t manage sessions for passwordless sms authentication?

Hi @thushalya,

Auth0 does manage sessions for passwordless users, which includes passwordless SMS or email. Note that you must initiate the login flow through a browser with the Universal Login to create a session.

Using direct API calls with API testing tools like Thunder Client or Postman will not maintain a session the same way a browser does, which is why you might not see any sessions when checking with the Management API.

Let us know if you have any further questions.

Thanks,
Rueben
