Two-step registration

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

With a one-step registration - also called unified registration - the identity traits will be repeated for each authentication strategy. For example the identity traits will be repeated for the password, the code via email, and the passkey method. For this reason unified registration is recommended for use cases where you have only one or two authentication methods enabled.

With a two-step registration - also called profile-first registration - 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 when you have more than two authentication methods enabled.

To disable the one-step unified registration, Go to Project settings → Advanced in the Ory Console and disable Enable unified sign up.
