The login-password screen collects the user’s password as the second step of an identifier-first authentication flow. It also supports switching to a federated identity provider or an alternate connection.
ACUL Login Password

Import

Each screen has its own set of hooks and methods. The SDK supports partial import and root import for each screen.
  • Using partial import allows you to include only the code you need for your specific use case.
  • Using root import allows you to load all screens from a single bundle useful when you want a unified build to handle all possible screens.
Import Example
// root import
import { useLoginPassword } from '@auth0/auth0-acul-react';

// partial import
import {
  useLoginPassword,
  // Context hooks
  useUser,
  useTenant,
  useBranding,
  useClient,
  useOrganization,
  usePrompt,
  useScreen,
  useTransaction,
  useUntrustedData,
  // Common hooks
  useCurrentScreen,
  useAuth0Themes,
  useErrors,
  // Utility hooks
  useChangeLanguage,
  // Methods
  login,
  federatedLogin,
  switchConnection,
} from '@auth0/auth0-acul-react/login-password';

function LoginPasswordForm() {
  const { login } = useLoginPassword();
  return (
    <button onClick={() => login({ username: 'user@example.com', password: 'secret' })}>
      Sign In
    </button>
  );
}

Context Hooks

Screen-scoped hooks that provide read-only access to Auth0 context data on the login-password screen. Import them from @auth0/auth0-acul-react/login-password.
​
useBranding
() => BrandingMembers
This hook provides branding configurations, such as logo, colors, and theme settings displayed on the login-password screen.

}
​
useClient
() => ClientMembers
This hook provides client-related configurations, such as id, name, and logoUrl, for the login-password screen.
Example
import { useClient } from '@auth0/auth0-acul-react/login-password';
function AppInfo() {
  const client = useClient();
}
​
useOrganization
() => OrganizationMembers
This hook provides information about the user’s Organization if the login is Organization scoped. Returns null when no Organization context is present.
Example
import { useOrganization } from '@auth0/auth0-acul-react/login-password';
function OrgSelector() {
  const organization = useOrganization();
  if (!organization) {
    return <p>No organization context</p>;
  }
}
​
usePrompt
() => PromptMembers
This hook contains data about the current prompt in the authentication flow.

function FlowInfo() {
  const prompt = usePrompt();
}
​
useScreen
() => ScreenMembersOnLoginPassword
This hook contains details specific to the login-password screen, including its configuration and context.
Example
import { useScreen } from '@auth0/auth0-acul-react/login-password';
function ScreenDebug() {

}
​
useTenant
() => TenantMembers
This hook contains data related to the tenant, such as id and associated metadata.
Example
import { useTenant } from '@auth0/auth0-acul-react/login-password';
function TenantInfo() {
  const tenant = useTenant();
}
​
useTransaction
() => TransactionMembersOnLoginPassword
This hook provides transaction-specific data for the login-password screen, such as active connections and current flow state.
Example
import { useTransaction } from '@auth0/auth0-acul-react/login-password';
function TransactionInfo() {
  const transaction = useTransaction();
}
​
useUntrustedData
() => UntrustedDataMembers
This hook handles untrusted data passed to the screen, such as a prefilled identifier from URL parameters.

function PrefilledForm() {
  const untrustedData = useUntrustedData();
}
​
useUser
() => UserMembers
This hook provides details of the active user, including username, email, and available authentication methods.
Example
import { useUser } from '@auth0/auth0-acul-react/login-password';
function UserProfile() {
  const user = useUser();
}
​
useLoginPassword
LoginPasswordMembers
This hook returns all methods and context available on the login-password screen.

​
Methods

​
federatedLogin
void | Promise<void>
This method initiates authentication via a federated identity provider, such as Google or GitHub.
Example
import { useLoginPassword } from '@auth0/auth0-acul-react/login-password';

function SocialButton() {
  const { federatedLogin } = useLoginPassword();
  return (
    <button onClick={() => federatedLogin({ connection: 'google-oauth2' })}>
      Sign in with Google
    </button>
  );
}
​
login
void | Promise<void>
This method submits the user’s credentials to complete authentication on the login-password screen.
Example
import { useLoginPassword } from '@auth0/auth0-acul-react/login-password';

function LoginPasswordForm() {
  const { login } = useLoginPassword();
  return (
    <button onClick={() => login({ username: 'user@example.com', password: 'secret' })}>
      Sign In
    </button>
  );
}
​
switchConnection
void | Promise<void>
This method switches to an alternate authentication connection without restarting the flow.
Example
import { useLoginPassword } from '@auth0/auth0-acul-react/login-password';

function ConnectionSwitcher() {
  const { switchConnection } = useLoginPassword();
  return (
    <button onClick={() => switchConnection({ connection: 'enterprise-saml' })}>
