   Hi @shreemaan-abhishek , 
   
   I have looked into the code, I found two ways to implement this feature.
   
   - Plugin Addition:
   Consider integrating an additional plugin, acting as a wrapper, to facilitate multi-authentication seamlessly. This would enhance the existing authentication framework and provide a streamlined solution.
   
   - Modifying the Core Plugin
   The second approach involves modifying the [apisix.plugin](https://github.com/apache/apisix/blob/master/apisix/plugin.lua#L1108) to support multiple authentications at the route level. Given our current execution flow, where plugins are prioritized and filtered, this adjustment requires a special case. We will iterate through all plugins associated with a route, identify those related to authentication, and execute them sequentially. This way, we can discern if any authentication method aligns with the incoming request.
