Auth0 is an identity and access management (IAM) platform that provides authentication and authorization services for web, mobile, and legacy applications. Founded in 2013 and acquired by Okta in 2021, Auth0 enables developers to implement secure single sign-on, multi-factor authentication, and OAuth 2.0 protocols without building identity infrastructure from scratch.
