 # ZITADEL Login UI
 
 This is going to be our next UI for the hosted login. It's based on Next.js 13 and its introduced `app/` directory.
-
-## Custom Configuration
-
-You can overwrite the default configuration by creating a `custom-config.ts` file in the root of the project. The `custom-config.ts` file should contain the settings you want to overwrite.
-
-### Example `custom-config.ts`
-
-```js
-const customConfig = {
-  session: {
-    lifetime_in_seconds: 7200,
-  },
-  selfservice: {
-    change_password: {
-      enabled: false,
-    },
-  },
-};
-
-module.exports = customConfig;
-```
