How to enable Credential Guard Addon? Is there a trial?

    • There is an extra cost associated with this feature. To try this addon, the TAM team can help enable a trial for an Auth0 tenant.

Is data reported from Credential Guard credible for use in Production systems?

  • Yes, the data is credible. Auth0 recommends using Credential Guard in production. It comes from a dedicated security team that infiltrates criminal communities and gains access to breach data that is not otherwise available: See Detect breaches faster with Credential Guard for more details.

Is it possible to report breached passwords to Auth0?

  • Yes, if there are breached credentials and it is necessary to pass them along to the Security Team, reach out to Auth0 Support and submit a case requesting the information.
