Starting with authentik 2022.2, you can use placeholders in the launch url to build them dynamically based on logged in user. For example, you can set the Launch URL to `https://goauthentik.io/%(username)s`, which will be replaced with the currently logged in user's username.
Only applications whose launch URL starts with `http://` or `https://` or are relative URLs are shown on the users's **My applications** page. This can also be used to hide applications that shouldn't be visible on the **My applications** page but are still accessible by users, by setting the _Launch URL_ to `hidden://`.
- _Icon (URL)_: Optionally configure an Icon for the application
If the authentik server does not have a volume mounted under `/media`, you'll get a text input. This accepts absolute URLs. If you've mounted single files into the container, you can reference them using `https://authentik.company/media/my-file.png`.

When enabled, any user identifier will be accepted as valid (as long as they match the correct format, i.e. when [User fields](#user-fields) is set to only allow Emails, then the identifier still needs to be an Email). The stage will succeed and the flow will continue to the next stage. Stages like the [Password stage](../password/index.md) and [Email stage](../email/index.mdx) are aware of this "pretend" user and will behave the same as if the user would exist.
## Source settings
Some sources (like the [OAuth Source](../../../../integrations/sources/oauth/) and [SAML Source](../../../../integrations/sources/saml/)) require user interaction. To make these sources available to users, they can be selected in the Identification stage settings, which will show them below the selected [user field](#user-fields).
By default, sources are only shown with their icon, which can be changed with the _Show sources' labels_ option.
Furthermore, it is also possible to deselect any [user field option](#user-fields) for an Identification stage, which will result in users only being able to use currently configured sources.

Starting with authentik 2023.5, when no user fields are selected and only one source is selected, authentik will automatically redirect the user to that source. This only applies when the **Passwordless flow** option is *not* configured.

## Flow settings
### Passwordless flow
See [Passwordless authentication](../authenticator_validate/index.md#passwordless-authentication).
### Enrollment flow
Optionally can be set to a flow with the designation of _Enrollment_, which will allow users to sign up.
### Recovery flow
Optionally can be set to a flow with the designation of _Recovery_, which will allow users to recover their credentials.
