Walkthrough

The user authentication setup documentation was restructured and modernized. Frontmatter metadata (title, sidebar configuration, table of contents, description, keywords, topics, updated date) was refreshed. The body content transitioned from a tile-based approach to a structured method-by-method guide, introducing environment-level configuration steps and detailed sections for Passwordless, Password, Social, Enterprise, and Custom authentication methods with updated provider links. The API section was retained with revised wording on managing connections.

Poem

🐰 The docs now flow, method by method with care,
From passwordless to custom, authentication's fair.

Mutual warnings and linked help appear.
A restructured guide, modern and bright! 🌟

Reviewed the reorg - structure now mirrors the dashboard nav order (Passwordless → Password → Social → Enterprise → Custom), which is way easier to scan than the old flat list. All new links and related-article IDs resolve, heading depth config matches the rest of the site.

Note:
Phone and Username both got a "learn more" deep-dive link in this rewrite - Email + code and Email + password didn't, even though email-authentication.mdx already exists and covers verification/account-linking in more depth. Worth a follow-up line linking those two sections to it, but not worth holding the PR for.
