Create User

Create a user in Auth0 with either a database or passwordless connection.

Options

Field Definition Type Required
Connection Type Type of connection for the user creation:
  • Database: This type of connection authenticates the user through an email or username and password. These credentials are securely stored in the Auth0 user store or in your own database.
  • Passwordless - Email: This type of connection allows the user to sign in without a password. Instead, the user enters their email address and receives a one-time password (OTP) or link for signing in.
  • Passwordless - SMS: This type of connection allows the user to sign in without a password. Instead, the user enters their mobile phone number and receives a one-time password (OTP) or link for signing in.

Available input fields may change depending on the type of connection chosen. Any particular fields are noted in the Input table.
