User Authentication and Login

Authress provides fundamentally a way for your users to log in using any strategy they want. Usually this means one of:

  • A federated social provider
  • A direct account integration or passwordless using FIDO2 via WebAuthN
  • SSO via their corporate identity provider

There are many more but these are the most common ones.

Authress also enables your customers to create applications than can utilize your platform as a login mechanism for their software. In Authress that is called creating a Platform Extension.
