This week, we released prefill support for the <SignUp /> and <SignIn /> components, improved SAML account linking for existing users, and shipped an update for Remix v2.
🔑 Prefill <SignUp /> and <SignIn />
You are now able to prefill email address, username, and phone numbers in the <SignUp /> and <SignIn /> components, either by passing an initialValues prop or by using query strings. Check out the docs to learn more!
🔗 Improved SAML Account Linking
Users who exist in your account before you enable SAML can now authenticate with your IdP and link an enterprise connection to their account.
🧩 Stable Remix v2 Support
The newly released @clerk/remix package introduces stable support for Remix v2, without the need for the V2_ prefixes of “future-flags”. Since this is a breaking change, a major bump was needed (v3) – to get the latest version, use npm i @clerk/remix@latest.
✨ Other Fixes & Improvements
- Updated Email Blocking so that blocking an email address will also block all its subaddresses
- Added support in the Clerk Expo Starter for the file-system-based router that was introduced with Expo Router v2
