            Customize the Apex Login Controller

            Salesforce provides an easy way to customize your login process using the Login Discovery Page, which lets you implement passwordless login. However, if you want even more control over your login process, you can modify the Apex login controllers and use customized Visualforce pages.

            Required Editions

            Available in: Salesforce Classic and Lightning Experience
            Available in: Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer Editions
            User Permissions Needed
            To create and edit Visualforce pages: Customize Application
            To edit Apex classes:

            Author Apex

            AND

            Customize Application

            You can use these steps to customize the login process for Default, Experience Builder, and Visualforce Pages. If you're using the Login Discovery Page to implement passwordless login programmatically, see Email or Phone Number Registration with Passwordless Login.

            For more information on Login Pages, see Login Page Types.

            1. From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Apex Classes, and then select Apex Classes.
            2. Next to CommunitiesLoginController, click Edit.
            3. Add the following code. 
              global PageReference forwardToCustomAuthPage() {

        return new PageReference(Site.getPathPrefix() + '/SiteLogin?startURL=' + EncodingUtil.urlEncode(startURL, 'UTF-8'));
    }
            4. If you created a custom login page, replace SiteLogin with the name of your Visualforce page.
