Description of changes:

Updated documentation to reflect the new passwordless authentication support in defineAuth (implemented in amplify-backend PR #3053).

Changes include:

  • Removed warning callout stating passwordless configuration is not available in defineAuth
  • Added configuration examples for Email OTP (otpLogin: true on email login)
  • Added configuration examples for SMS OTP (otpLogin: true on phone login)
  • Added configuration examples for WebAuthn passkeys with automatic and manual relying party ID configuration
  • Updated set-up-auth page to mention passwordless as a configuration option
  • Updated CDK overrides page to recommend the new defineAuth approach over manual overrides
  • Clarified that passwordless methods work alongside password authentication (password auth cannot be disabled)

Closes aws-amplify/amplify-backend#2276
