signup without password?

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

It looks like there’s the ability to use magic links to log in. But I can’t figure out a way to have a user sign up without requiring a password in the beginning. If they provide and email, confirm it, and then always use magic links, why require a password at all?

Describe the solution you’d like

Ideally the password option would be optional for sign up.

@kiwicopple interesting. But then later on when someone comes back to sign in… if they mistype their email address (or forget which one they used to sign up) there’s no way of knowing whether I’m signing them in to their existing account or accidentally creating a brand new account?

Having the signIn function be able to result in a new account being created seems off to me.

So you’d like to have data associated with a certain user email even before the email is confirmed?
