@Widcket I see. When looking at this page, it looks like I'm using the New Universal Login.

Even though the warning says "One or more pages are using custom HTML to override the Universal Login experience" that doesn't make it clear that I'm using classic, because "New" is still clearly selected. I assumed that some settings were being overridden, but I was still using "New". I'm guessing that this switch was on because I started using Auth0 before the New Universal Login experience was completed?

I understand that this UI may not have anything to do with you, but I hope that some feedback on it can be passed on and that other users of Auth0.swift with the same problem find this issue helpful.

Hi @wrightak, thanks for raising this.

What .parameters(["screen_hint": "signup"]) does is instruct Universal Login to show the signup page:

What .parameters(["prompt": "login"]) does is instruct Universal login to show the login page, regardless if the user is already logged in or not:

Screen.Recording.2022-11-29.at.22.43.47.mov

Both seem to work as expected in my testing.

@Widcket Thank you for replying. Unfortunately this isn't working for me. I assume this means that there's something different about my Universal Login setup rather than a problem with Auth0.swift. Can you give me guidance on this? Here's the video.

Thanks for sharing the video. I see you're using Classic Universal Login. For the screen_hint parameter to work with Classic Universal Login there's a bit more of configuration needed, as described here:

I think I've solved this. I'm not using the Classic Universal Login. I'm using the New Universal Login but in Auth0 Dashboard > Branding > Universal Login > Login I had the Customize Login Page switch set to ON. You need to turn this off for it to work.

Seems like something worth adding to the part of the readme that you quoted. Would you like me to make a PR?

Incidentally, I have no idea why that switch was on. I don't remember writing any of the HTML that's there or switching it on deliberately.

Turning that switch ON makes it use Classic Universal Login, which relies in Lock.js:

This is indeed Classic Universal Login:
