useLastUsedMethod()

function useLastUsedMethod(): undefined | LastUsedMethod

Returns the login method the user chose last time on this device, for the current login screen:

• On any screen that carries an identifier, including a form that shows the entered identifier again after an error, only the method last used with that identifier.
• On select_method without an identifier, nothing.
• Otherwise, the last method used on this device. This covers an empty first screen, in both identifier-first and one-step logins.

Returns

undefined | LastUsedMethod

The last used method. undefined while it loads, when there is none, when show_last_used_method is off, outside login flows, and on second factor screens.

Example

import { useLastUsedMethod } from "@ory/elements-react"

function LastUsedHint() {
  const lastUsed = useLastUsedMethod()
  if (lastUsed?.method !== "oidc") {
    return null
  }
  return <p>You signed in with {lastUsed.provider} last time.</p>
}
