+### Overrides
+
+By default `passwordless` uses the `passwordless_with` column you specify in the model to case insensitively fetch the resource during authentication. You can override this and provide your own customer fetcher by defining a class method `fetch_resource_for_passwordless` in your passwordless model. The method will be supplied with the downcased email and should return an `ActiveRecord` instance of the model.
+
+Example time:
+
+Let's say we would like to fetch the record and if it doesn't exist, create automatically.
+
+```ruby
+    class User < ApplicationRecord
+        def self.fetch_resource_for_passwordless(email)
+            record = where("lower(email) = ?", email).first

 ### Registering new users
