<![CDATA[why must a password be included on a form?]]>In the form generator, an email (or userid) plus a password is required. How does this work when using passwordless? How can I use the standard passwordless login form in my application? Only via Magic Link? and if so, how do I get the magic link popup to display? Or must I build my own popup that looks like magic link?

I pretty much had come to the conclusion that I need to build my own login form, and you confirmed that. And have it submit to my code which will then start passwordless via the API.

My recommendation would be to review the documentation here.

If you are using the standard login page in FusionAuth![0_1617299194106_vue-with-passwordless.gif](Uploading 100%) (/oauth2/authorize) for an Authorization Code Grant you will have boxes for a username and password. To enable passwordless, you would follow the guide above. After enabling passwordless options in your application essentially there would be a magic link that is provided as an additional alternative to log in, like below:

If you would like to have your own login form, my suggestion would be to use the API to create a passwordless login experience for your users. The documentation for the passwordless API can be found here.

Below is a Gif of such functionality using the VueJS example and a simple mailcatcher.

I hope this helps!

Thanks
Josh
