Auth0 Authentication API with React Native

Question

I am currently developing a mobile app in react native and using Auth0 for user management. I am using my own login, signup and forgot password screens instead of their lock widget. I was able to implement passwordless sms and email by calling their authentication api as well as account linking by using their management api. However, I am having difficulty authenticating in a user with their email and password through the api once they already have an account. It seems to me that there should be a single endpoint for this in which you include the email and password in the body of the request. I was wondering if anyone could help me understand how to simply login users using auth0's api. Thanks in advance.

Take a look at this react native (embedded login custom UI) sample (slightly dated) - wrote it around 6 months ago, but it should offer you good insights - https://github.com/auth0-samples/react-native-embedded-login
