Auth0

Auth0 handles the entire authentication stack so developers don't have to build login systems from scratch. It supports social logins (Google, Facebook, Apple), enterprise SSO (SAML, OIDC), passwordless, and multi-factor authentication—all through a single SDK.

What it does

Auth0 provides pre-built login pages, APIs, and SDKs for web, mobile, and native apps. Developers configure authentication rules via a dashboard or API, and Auth0 manages user sessions, token issuance, and security policies. It also offers user management, anomaly detection, and breach password monitoring.
