@chilly-king-10285 Hello! I hope it is the right channel Could you please advise me I need to implement the following customer experience So that both when logging in and registering, the user specifies his email, then enters the OTP code from the email and is immediately authorized. The flow itself is already configured and everything works great. But i have problem with passwordless user registration Both options are suitable 1 - there is only a login page, if the user entered an email that does not exist yet, then registration also occurs 2 - there is a login page and there is a registration page - I tried this method I found documentation on OTP and everything worked out for logging in, but for registering through a ory dashboard, I cannot enable the "Enable sign in after registration" settings option if a password is not used. Therefore, when registering, the user specifies an email, then enters a OTP code, and then he is asked to enter the email and code again - a second time, since he must log in How can this be avoided? So that the registration process looks the same as the login process? Thank you!

Hello! I'd be happy to help you with your question about implementing passwordless registration and login using one-time codes (OTP) in Ory. Based on the information provided in the knowledge sources, there are a couple of important points to address your issue: 1. The "Enable sign in after registration" option in the Ory Console doesn't currently support the one-time code method for passwordless registration. This is a known issue, as mentioned in [this GitHub issue](https://github.com/ory/network/issues/340). 2. However, there is a workaround to achieve the desired behavior using the Ory CLI. You can configure the

session

hook after registration for the

code

method using the following command:

Copy code

ory patch project <project-id> --replace '/services/identity/config/selfservice/flows/registration/after/code/hooks=[{"hook": "session"}]'

This command will enable the session hook for the one-time code method, allowing users to be automatically logged in after registration [Configure session after Registration via code in Console](https://github.com/ory/network/issues/340). To implement the customer experience you described, where both login and registration use the same flow (email input followed by OTP), you can follow these steps: 1. Enable passwordless one-time codes for both login and registration in your Ory project settings. 2. Use the Ory CLI command mentioned above to enable the session hook for the code method after registration. 3. Implement a single flow for both login and registration, where: - The user enters their email address - Ory sends a one-time code to the email - The user enters the OTP - If the email doesn't exist, a new account is created (registration) - If the email exists, the user is logged in - In both cases, the user is immediately authorized after entering the correct OTP This approach aligns with your first option, where there's only a login page, and registration occurs automatically for new email addresses. For more information on implementing passwordless one-time code authentication, you can refer to the [Email and SMS one-time-code authentication documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/passwordless/one-time-code). By following these steps and using the CLI command to configure the session hook, you should be able to avoid the issue of users having to enter their email and code twice during registration.
