About Auth0 takes a modern approach to Identity, providing secure access to any application, for any user. Safeguarding billions of login transactions each month, Auth0 delivers convenience, privacy, and security so customers can focus on innovation. Auth0 is part of Okta, The World’s Identity Company™. Auth0 lets you quickly integrate authentication and authorization for web, mobile, and legacy applications, with new Fine Grained Authorization (FGA) that goes beyond role-based access control. Authenticate users across all applications with a customized, secure, and standards-based single login. Universal Login connects users to a central authorization server. Credentials aren’t transferred across sources, which boosts security and protects against phishing and credential stuffing attacks. OAuth 2.0 recommends that only external user agents (like the browser) be used by native applications for authentication flows. Auth0’s Universal Login achieves this while enabling SSO.

Why Auth0 is Better than Firebase Auth0 is better than Firebase Authentication for organizations that need advanced, portable identity capabilities beyond a tightly integrated application-development ecosystem. Firebase provides convenient SDKs, ready-made interfaces, social login, phone authentication, and close integration with other Firebase services. Auth0 adds enterprise federation, SSO, sophisticated MFA, Universal Login, user management, authorization, customizable authentication flows, and an extensive integration marketplace. Its cloud-independent architecture also makes it easier to use identity consistently across multiple applications, APIs, frameworks, and infrastructure providers. See more
