Showing /signup instead of /login using Universal Login and auth0-spa-js

[jacobd]

Is there any way of showing /signup instead of /login when calling loginWithRedirect. I cannot for the life of me find out how? Surely it has to be possible, it seems like such a common use case.

Thanks for any help!

Hi @jacobd

Welcome to the Auth0 Community Forum!

Take a look at this topic, I think it covers it.

How to open login/signup on the Universal login (hosted page)?

Generally it is not recommended to send custom parameters to the /authorize endpoint. There is a login_hint parameter however, which is part of the standard. Generally it is used for passing the email address that the user is trying to log in as, but can also be used for this type of scenario where you want to tell the login page how to render. So, if you switch to login_hint instead of mode, then you are sticking more with that OIDC standard. Just beware that you should “validate” the value…

Let me know.

Thanks,
Dan

Hey! Thanks @dan.woda! And thanks for your answer.

I realize now that my question really was if it is possible when using the new Universal Login page. I think that topic answers it; it isn’t possible.

Edit: I understand the reasons it isn’t possible, but it would be great if it was anyways . The new Universal Login page is just seems like a better user experience all around.
