  • Yes, this is suited for github

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

In the current setup it is possible to use the maginLink plugin to have a passwordless login and registration. However, it is possible, via the disableSignUp flag to disallow signing up with a magic link which makes total sense.
However, this presupposes that the only remaining way to sign people up, gathering information and data like name, email, or others, is still a password one, namely email and password.
The request would be just to implement a passwordless sign up option when disabling the sign up via magic link option which could be as simple as setting the current signUp method signature with an optional password parameter.

Describe the solution you'd like

A similar method to the authClient.signUp.email() that wouldn't require the password to be included

Describe alternatives you've considered

Nothing really, I am looking into passwordless solutions, and this missing feature seems pretty limiting under some circumstances

Additional context
