Hi Friends! Back with another installment of monthly quick tips based on trending search terms in the community. Here are a handful from the past month:
Custom Domain
- Configuring a custom domain in your Auth0 tenant enhances brand consistency, improves security, and provides a seamless user experience by keeping authentication flows within your own domain (think third party cookies). It also allows for better customization, strengthening user trust and control over your brand.
Invalid signature
- If you’re getting an
invalid signature
error when verifying tokens it typically means there’s a mismatch in the secret/key, an incorrect algorithm, or the token has been altered. Be sure to check all configuration in Auth0 and your application. There are dozens of libraries to help you verify tokens at jwt.io.
SSO
- SSO(Single Sign-On) enables users to log in once and access multiple applications by centralizing authentication through a single identity provider and authorization server, streamlining the process and enhancing security across all connected apps.
MFA
- At its core Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) enhances security by requiring multiple forms of verification to access applications. Auth0 supports diverse MFA methods like WebAuthn with security keys/device biometrics, SMS, push notifications, etc., allowing easy integration and customization to strengthen user authentication effectively.
SAML
- The Security Assertion Markup Language allows secure, single sign-on (SSO) by allowing your app to authenticate users through a trusted identity provider. It uses standardized XML-based tokens to transmit authentication data, ensuring seamless and secure access to your app.
