A registration token can now be marked `passwordless`, which will let the user register without picking a password: their identity is established by the email verification code instead. This only adds the column and plumbs it through the storage layer and the admin API; the registration flow itself is unchanged for now.
About this documentation
This documentation is intended to give an overview of how the matrix-authentication-service (MAS) works, both from an admin perspective and from a developer perspective.
MAS is an OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Provider server for Matrix. It has been created to support the migration of Matrix to an OpenID Connect (OIDC) based authentication layer as per MSC3861.
The documentation itself is built using mdBook. A hosted version is available at https://element-hq.github.io/matrix-authentication-service/.
