Hello Discourse Support,

Our new Free forum, [https://staffingmath.discourse.group/](https://staffingmath.discourse.group/), displays “No login methods are configured” when a signed-out visitor clicks either Log In or Sign Up.

In Admin \> Community \> Login & authentication \> Discourse ID, Discourse ID is off and both its switch and Regenerate credentials are disabled. Allow new registrations and Enable local logins via email are already checked. We have not changed authentication settings during the forum’s branding and category setup, and the owner still has a signed-in admin session.

Please investigate and provision or repair Discourse ID for this forum while preserving the owner account, existing categories, topics, and settings.

Thank you.

Discourse ID is the only supported login method on the free plan, it seems you found a toggle we haven’t disabled! We’ll fix this. Discourse ID is now enabled on your site again so you should be able to get back to it.
