Two-step registration

With a one-step registration, when you enable multiple authentication strategies (for example password, code via email, and passkey), the identity traits will be repeated for each authentication strategy.

Compare this to a two-step registration: Now, the user is prompted for the identity traits in the first step, and asked to choose a credential method for authentication next. This results in a more stream-lined user experience.

info

Identity traits are data associated with an identity that can be modified by the user. The traits are configured through the identity schema.

Registration with two-step registration vs one-step registration

To disable the legacy one-step registration, Go to Authentication → Registration in the Ory Console and switch off Enable legacy one-step registration or use the Ory CLI:

ory list workspaces # to get the workspace id
ory list projects --workspace <workspace-id> # to get the project id

ory patch project --project <project-id> --workspace <workspace-id> \
  --replace '/services/identity/config/selfservice/flows/registration/enable_legacy_one_step=false'
