Building beyond the login box: Developing flexible and scalable auth | Oktane 2023

You’ve managed to build your login box and integrate your authentication system with Auth0 by Okta, so what’s next? Join us on an exploration beyond the traditional confines of the login box where you’ll understand how to leverage Auth0. We start by looking at the concept of authentication, how we usually prove who we are online and why passwords are a thing of the past, and with that, we'll introduce passkeys, a leading-edge passwordless solution. We recognize that each organization is unique and has its own needs in the authentication process- highlighting flexible features like Actions, custom prompts, custom fields, and more. We'll look at authorization, as we unpack its role as the gatekeeper of user permissions. Finally, we spotlight Okta’s pledge to enhance developer productivity, preparing us for the challenges of the future. This keynote encourages developers to see beyond traditional login methods and embrace new, flexible, and cutting-edge solutions for managing Identity.
