How to Remove the Email Input Field from Universal Login

Some Auth0 tenants using the Identifier First authentication profile may notice that Universal Login displays an email input field in addition to “Continue with…” social or enterprise login buttons. In certain cases, it may be helpful to remove this email field entirely—either to simplify the login experience or to prevent users from entering their email address more than once.

This article explains how to remove the email field from Universal Login so that only the “Continue with…” buttons are shown.

• Auth0 Universal Login (New Experience)
• Identifier First Authentication Profile
• Applications using Social or Enterprise Connections
• Username-Password-Authentication (Database) Connections

To remove the email address field from Universal Login:

1. Update the Authentication Profile
   • Navigate to Auth0 Dashboard → Authentication → Login Experience.
   • Change the authentication profile from Identifier First to Identifier + Password.
   • This profile disables the standalone identifier prompt that requires users to enter their email before continuing.
2. Disable the Database Connection for the Application
   • Go to Auth0 Dashboard → Authentication → Databases.
   • Select the Username-Password-Authentication (or your custom database) connection.
   • Under the Applications tab, toggle off the connection for the application in question.

Disabling the database connection ensures that users are not prompted for an email/password login at all, leaving only the configured “Continue with…” social or enterprise provider buttons on the Universal Login screen.

After completing these steps, the email field will no longer appear and users will proceed directly via the available federated login options.
