I am trying to add a head tag to the password login page so that it will refresh every minute.

The html for that is:

How do I add this to the headers in the simplest way. I thought it would be as easy as going to

Universal Login → Customize authentication screens → login-password / login-password

That has a “head tags” tab but I can’t figure out what I put in there to have it show up on the page? Am I on the right path or is there a better/different way?

TIA!

Sorry, the post stripped the html I was trying to include:

In case it strips it again, it is a meta tag with http-equiv=”refresh” with content=”60”

Hi @msigman,

Welcome to the Auth0 Community and sorry for the delayed response!

In order to customize a certain prompt from the Universal Login experience you will have to configure the [Advanced Customizations for Universal Login (ACUL)](https://auth0.com/docs/customize/login-pages/advanced-customizations/getting-started). The _Customize authentication screens_ section in Universal Login is the specific section to set ACUL configuration.

ThIS feature is intended for cases such as yours, but you will need to create your own client-side frontend application for the desired prompt/screen and set the script to fetch the bundle assets in the head tags. You will also need to set the Rendering Mode on Advanced and [configure a Custom Domain](https://auth0.com/docs/customize/custom-domains/auth0-managed-certificates). To use ACUL, setting the `head` tags is mandatory, in which at least one valid `script` element is required to load your custom bundle. Afterwards, using ACUL you can implement a function that refreshes the login page every 60 seconds.

Another option would be to [Customize Classic Login Pages](https://auth0.com/docs/customize/login-pages/classic-login/customization-classic), which also requires setting a custom domain, but this would not be specific to a certain prompt, but multiple pages that might integrated within the login process.

I hope this helps!

Kind regards,

Remus
