+### Re-enable standard web sign-in form
+
+Re-enable the standard username and password-based sign-in form if it was disabled as a [Sign-in restriction](../../user/admin_area/settings/sign_in_restrictions.md#password-authentication-enabled).
+
+You can use this method when a configured external authentication provider (through SSO or an LDAP configuration) is facing an outage and direct sign-in access to GitLab is required.

+```ruby
+Gitlab::CurrentSettings.update!(password_authentication_enabled_for_web: true)
