# Authentication screens

<Warning>
  **Step-up authentication** and **device registration** are required
  for all headless integrations. Without these, users will be blocked
  during login or sensitive actions. See the
  [2026\_04\_01 upgrade guide](/overview/migrations/api/2026_04_01).
</Warning>

Implement the screens below based on which authentication methods you've
enabled in your [dashboard](https://app.dynamic.xyz/dashboard). Email
is enabled by default for most projects.
