Unify the login experience with your own domain
passwordless.your_domain.com
instead of passwordless.ownid.com.
example.com
, we recommend you use passwordless.example.com
as your custom subdomain, but you can replace passwordless
with whatever you like as long as it’s a valid subdomain.
After you decide on a subdomain, visit the OwnID Console > Custom Domain
tab to start the domain connection process.
On the Custom Domain page, click Set up your own. You now see a form with an input to enter your desired subdomain. After entering your desired subdomain, a panel with instructions for setting up your DNS records will appear:
Field | Instructions | Description |
---|---|---|
Type | Select CNAME from the dropdown | The kind of DNS record this is. |
Name | If your custom subdomain is passwordless.example.com, enter passwordless | For CNAME records, this field is the first part of your subdomain (the part leading up to the first period). |
Value | Copy the value from the OwnID console (example: ywdw3re63qefw.cnames.ownid.com) | This is what the new subdomain record points to–in this case, OwnID. Some providers may expect a trailing period (.) after the CNAME value. Make sure to verify that your CNAME value matches the format your provider expects. |
TTL | Enter 300 | An expiration of 5 minutes (300 seconds) is okay. Your DNS provider might not allow you to change the TTL value. If this field is missing or you can’t change it, it’s safe to ignore this part of the configuration. |
cnames.ownid.com
in the output. If you don’t see that output at first, wait a few minutes and try the query again.
When you see that output, move onto the next step in the OwnID console. Now Click Verify.
A new panel with instructions for validating the ownership of your domain will appear:
Pending Validation
until you prove the domain ownership. Let’s move to the next step.

Type | Select CNAME from the dropdown | What kind of DNS record this is. |
