# Disable creation of passwords

> Disable password creation in Memberful so members sign in with a one-time magic link instead. Reduce friction and support requests from forgotten passwords.

By default, members sign in to their accounts using [**a magic link emailed to them**](/member-interface/account/access-their-account#sign-in-with-a-sign-in-email). However, members also have the option to create a password for their account and sign in using that instead.

In this help article, we'll show how to handle logins with a password or a magic link.

## Ways members can create a password

Members can set a password through several methods:

* Immediately after signing up via a custom field
* Right after requesting magic sign-in link
* From the magic sign-in email
* By performing a password reset from their account

[Learn more about these sign-in methods.](/member-interface/account/access-their-account/#create-a-password)

## Disable password support

If you'd prefer to disable password-based sign-in entirely, you can do so by going to *Settings → Passwords.* From there, toggle off **Support passwords.**

<Callout icon="triangle-alert" color="#FFE044">
  Disabling support for passwords does not automatically hide the *Account Password* custom field that can appear after sign-up. If you've previously added that custom field, be sure to [disable it](/configuration/feedback-and-policies/create-custom-fields/).
