    Auth0

    Auth0

    Auth0

    Identity is Complex. Deal with it. Rapidly integrate authentication and authorization for web, mobile, and legacy applications so you can focus on your core business. People think that you can’t save money and reduce costs with something essential like identity. But those who use Auth0 experience a positive impact to their bottom line. Authenticate users across all of your applications with your own custom, secure, and standards-based unified login. With Universal login, users are redirected to a central authorization server. Because authentication is taking place on the same domain as the login, credentials are not sent across origins, increasing security and protecting against attacks such as phishing and man-in-the-middle. OAuth 2.0 recommends that only external user agents (such as the browser) should be used by native applications for authentication flows. Universal login provides this in a secure manner while also enabling SSO.
