👤Identity & Access ManagementAbout Auth0 (Okta CIC)
Auth0 (now Okta's Customer Identity Cloud) is the most developer-loved identity platform for building auth into applications. Its SDKs cover every major language and framework, and social login, passwordless auth, and MFA can be added in hours. The free plan supports 7,500 monthly active users — viable for early-stage startups. Auth0's Rules and Actions allow custom logic in the auth pipeline. Compared to building auth from scratch, Auth0 reduces development time by weeks. Best for: developers building SaaS or consumer applications who need auth, not IT teams managing employee identity.
