auth0 by Okta — status

Auth0 is a global identity management platform that provides authentication and authorization as a service for developers and organizations. It was acquired by Okta in 2021, and its business model is based on simplifying the complexities of identity and access management (IAM). It offers a wide range of services, including a Universal Login, which provides a customizable login page that handles all the authentication flows for a developer. This "all-in-one" approach allows developers to integrate a robust, secure login system into their applications with minimal effort, saving them from having to build and maintain the infrastructure themselves. A key part of Auth0's value proposition is its extensibility. It supports over 50 social providers like Google and Facebook, as well as enterprise connections such as Active Directory and LDAP. The company's business model is a tiered subscription based on the number of "active users" and the features required, such as multi-factor authentication, single sign-on (SSO), and breach password detection. This scalable pricing model makes it suitable for everything from a small startup to a large enterprise. The company's commitment to security is a major selling point, with features designed to prevent common attacks and ensure compliance with regulations. Auth0’s history as a developer-first platform has given it a strong reputation in the developer community. Its acquisition by Okta, a leader in enterprise identity, has created a powerful combination that caters to a broad range of identity needs, from developer-centric use cases to large-scale workforce identity management. The platform is designed to be agnostic, meaning it works with any technology stack or platform.
