-Log Blazor authentication messages at the <xref:Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.LogLevel.Debug?displayProperty=nameWithType> or <xref:Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.LogLevel.Trace?displayProperty=nameWithType> logging levels with a log filter for <xref:Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components.WebAssembly.Authentication?displayProperty=fullName> in `Program.cs`.
+Log Blazor authentication messages at the <xref:Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.LogLevel.Debug?displayProperty=nameWithType> or <xref:Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.LogLevel.Trace?displayProperty=nameWithType> logging levels with a logging configuration in app settings or by using a log filter for <xref:Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components.WebAssembly.Authentication?displayProperty=fullName> in `Program.cs`.
 
-The following example:
+In an app settings file (for example, `wwwroot/appsettings.Developoment.json`):
+
+```json
+"Logging": {
+  "LogLevel": {
+    "Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components.WebAssembly.Authentication": "Debug"
+  }
+}
+```

+Using a log filter, the following example:
 
 * Activates logging for the `Debug` build configuration using a [C# preprocessor directive](/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/preprocessor-directives).
 * Logs Blazor authentication messages at the <xref:Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.LogLevel.Debug> log level.
