How to Allow Username/Password and Federated Logins
Feb 20, 2026
Overview
This article explains how to configure a login experience that prevents an automatic redirect to a federated identity provider by using Identifier + Password login. This allows users from a specific domain to choose between logging in with their enterprise single sign-on (SSO) or a username and password stored in a local database.
Applies To
- Enterprise Connections
- Database Connections
- Identifier First
- Identifier + Password
Solution
Enable Identifier + Password through the Auth0 dashboard:
- Authentication
- Authentication Profile
- Select "Identifier + Password"
- Click "Save"
Then enable the federated login as a button:
- Authentication
- Enterprise
- Select the connection to be enabled
- Under the "Login Experience" tab, remove any domain that should not be automatically redirected to the federated login
To enable the federated connection as a button:
- scroll down on the same "Login Experience" tab
- Enable the "Display connection as a button" box
- Click "Save".
