# Simple login flow

Keycloak allows you to configure different flows, such as the *First Browser Login* flow, found in the **Authentication** section. An authentication flow is a container for all authentications, screens, and actions that must happen during login, registration, and other Keycloak workflows, as explained in greater depth in the [official Keycloak documentation](https://www.keycloak.org/docs/latest/server_admin/#_authentication-flows).

In the case of integration of an OpenID Connect (OIDC) Provider, you need to customize the default Keycloak behavior and allow the user profile to be automatically created in the Keycloak's database on first redirect from the OIDC provider or automatically associated with the user in the Keycloak database through the existing email address. For this reason we need to create a custom flow, what [has been referred to](https://ultimatesecurity.pro/post/first-login-flow/) as a *Simple Login Flow*.
