Solid, well-researched doc addition - new page is thorough, frontmatter is filled in properly, and the cross-linking across 6 sibling pages is consistent and correctly wired via page_id/relatedArticles. Minor comments - nothing here blocks the build or ships wrong info, but there's an unfinished fix and a couple of consistency slips worth catching before merge.


When the option is switched on, the user sees an **Or** separator and a **Sign in with a code** button below the password field during sign-in.

This and the other screenshot further down use a raw <img> tag instead of markdown ![](). The rest of this file (and most of the repo) uses ![](), which seems to get the loading="lazy" decoding="async" fetchpriority="low" attributes applied automatically. Hand-rolled <img> tags skip that - see byo-code.mdx and team-member-roles.mdx for the existing pattern (they also use width="300px" with a unit, not bare width="300"). Worth switching these two to markdown syntax for consistency, unless there's a reason you need the raw tag here.

I added the required attiributes and 'px' unit. The reason I used tag here because of controlling the width of that screenshot.

2. Select **Save**.
4. If you select the **Phone** tile:
1. In Kinde, go to **Settings > Environment > Authentication**.
2. In the **Passwordless** section, select **Configure** one of the relevant tile:

Following up on CR's grammar catch here - the fixup commit changed "on of" to "one of" but tile is still singular even though there's a list of three options right below it. Should read "one of the relevant tiles:". Small thing but it's the line CR already flagged once, so worth getting right this time.

The next time a user opens the sign-in page, they see the updated labels:

Same thing here as the img tag above - raw <img> with unitless width="400", bypasses the site's usual markdown image handling.

Some connection options are properties of the connection itself rather than of the organization. **Show 'Sign in with a code' on password page** is one of these. If an organization uses a shared password connection, the option follows whatever is set on that shared connection, and you cannot switch it on for one organization and off for another while both use the same connection. See [Use password and passwordless auth at the same time](/authenticate/authentication-methods/use-password-and-passwordless-auth/).

Trailing space after </Aside> on this line. Harmless for rendering but Prettier will probably flag it on the next lint run, easy to just strip it now.
