About
Auth0 takes a modern approach to Identity, providing secure access to any application, for any user. Safeguarding billions of login transactions each month, Auth0 delivers convenience, privacy, and security so customers can focus on innovation. Auth0 is part of Okta, The World’s Identity Company™.
Auth0 lets you quickly integrate authentication and authorization for web, mobile, and legacy applications, with new Fine Grained Authorization (FGA) that goes beyond role-based access control.
Authenticate users across all applications with a customized, secure, and standards-based single login. Universal Login connects users to a central authorization server. Credentials aren’t transferred across sources, which boosts security and protects against phishing and credential stuffing attacks. OAuth 2.0 recommends that only external user agents (like the browser) be used by native applications for authentication flows. Auth0’s Universal Login achieves this while enabling SSO.

Why Auth0 is Better than Amazon CognitoAuth0 is better than Amazon Cognito for organizations that want a cloud-independent identity platform with extensive customization and a streamlined developer experience. Cognito provides scalable authentication, user directories, federation, and access to AWS services, but it is closely aligned with the AWS ecosystem. Auth0 supports applications across languages, frameworks, and cloud environments while offering Universal Login, SSO, MFA, user management, enterprise federation, and extensibility through Actions, Forms, Event Streams, and marketplace integrations. This makes Auth0 a stronger fit for complex, multicloud identity strategies. See more |
