Hi,

we are planning to use azure ad b2c to authenticate our customers.

At the moment our customers can either use their email + password OR their customer number + password to login to our apps.

Is this possible in azure ad b2c?

    It's just a matter of configuring both values as identities for the customer. One would be the email address identity and the other the username identity.

    Are you accepting a different username other than email address and customer number at this moment?

    Hi,

    thanks for the responce.

    Maybe I didn't understand you correct.

    We don't have two identities. It should be the same customer but the customer can either enter his customer number OR email adress to login. (the password and other attributes stay the same).

    regards
    Stefan

    @Krumböck, Stefan Yes, this can be done by using custom policy in B2C. Please refer to this sample: https://github.com/azure-ad-b2c/samples/tree/master/policies/username-or-email.

    With built-in user flows, you can either use username or email address for sign-in but not both.
