Hi all! Back with another installment of monthly quick tips on trending search terms in the community. Here are a handful from the past month:
Next.js
- Auth0 provides a Next.js SDK for adding authentication to your Next.js applications. We highly recommend taking a look at the quickstart and related sample app when getting started. Don’t forget to check out the Developer Center which also provides integration examples using the
nextjs-auth0SDK:
Forms
- Forms for Actions offer a user-friendly method to collect and manage additional data during authentication through customizable forms. These forms are useful for gathering inputs, displaying messages, or prompting users for extra information, especially during registration, login, or other authentication steps. By integrating these forms with Actions, you can create tailored authentication experiences to ensure all necessary user information is collected and processed effectively.
Authorization Extension
- The Authorization Extension allows for implementing access control based on groups, roles, and permissions. However, it is important to note that this extension relies on Rules which will be deprecated in favor of Actions. We encourage the use of Authorization Core and FGA.
Wordpress
- The Auth0 WordPress Plugin provides secure login, SSO, social and enterprise logins, and multifactor authentication. It’s customizable, enhances site security, and simplifies user management.
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.
Logout
- Logout pertains to terminating user sessions at multiple layers. It involves ending the local application session, the Auth0 session, and potentially federated identity provider sessions. This ensures the user is fully logged out and cannot access secured resources without re-authenticating, providing a comprehensive approach to session management and security.
