Hi @Lakhan Shrivastav , yes, you can use the loginHint parameter to prepopulate the username/email address field of the sign-in page for the user if you know their username ahead of time. This is often used during reauthentication, having already extracted the username from a previous sign-in using the preferred_username claim.

Please let me know if you have any questions and I can help you further.

"Thank you for your response". Hi, I am using Azure B2B and B2C AD for authentication in my Angular application. On my login page, users enter their username (email) and click the login button, which triggers the Azure AD login popup. I'm looking for a way to prepopulate the email field in the AD popup for different users. Can anyone provide guidance or references on how to achieve this effectively with Angular and Azure AD B2C? Your assistance is greatly appreciated

Hi @Lakhan Shrivastav , to prepopulate the email field in the login popup, you can use the loginPopup method provided by the MSAL.js library. You can pass the email address as a parameter to this method, and it will prepopulate the email field in the login popup. Here's an example of how you can achieve this:

Import the MsalService from the @azure/msal-angular package in your component:

import { MsalService } from '@azure/msal-angular';

Inject the MsalService in your component's constructor: constructor(private authService: MsalService) { }

Call the loginPopup method with the email address as a parameter:

this.authService.loginPopup({ loginHint: 'user@example.com' }) .then(() => { // Handle successful login }) .catch((error) => { // Handle login error });

In the above example, the loginHint parameter is used to prepopulate the email field in the login popup. You can replace 'user@example.com' with the email address of the user you want to prepopulate the field for.

Please let me know if you have any questions and I can help you further.

I have a querie regarding B2C where when getting the userdetails from AD using accessToken and AzureID i am not able to get the exact email id of user In the UserPrincipalName its giving me the azureID+onmicrosoft.com so how to get the exact email id of user

furthermore , once the prepopulated email id is set can we disable the username filed once populated as that user should not able to change it , is this possible

@James Hamil after prepopulating the AD login popup can we make it disable ? so that user cannot change the emailid entered or can we show direct the password page ??

@Lakhan Shrivastav the UserPrincipalName attribute is typically in the format of @.onmicrosoft.com. This is the default format for the user's sign-in name. If you want to retrieve the user's email address, you can use the "email" claim in the access token. This claim is usually included in the token by default, but you can also configure your user flow to include it if it's not already there.

Regarding your second question, it is possible to disable the username field once it's populated. You can achieve this by customizing your user flow using custom policies. In your custom policy, you can set the "readOnly" attribute to "true" for the "signInNames.emailAddress" technical profile. This will prevent the user from changing their email address once it's populated.
