SuperTokens
Open-source authentication and session management service, providing a self-hosted alternative to Auth0, Firebase Auth, and AWS Cognito.
What is SuperTokens?
SuperTokens is an open-source authentication and session management service that provides a secure, self-hosted alternative to commercial providers like Auth0 and Firebase Auth. It handles user login, sign-up, multi-factor authentication, and session management, allowing developers to retain full control over their user data. The solution is designed to be easy to implement while offering high security and extensibility.
Developers and engineering teams building web or mobile applications who need a robust, customizable authentication system without relying on third-party SaaS providers. It's particularly suitable for organizations with data sovereignty requirements or those wanting to avoid vendor lock-in.
Developers choose SuperTokens because it combines the convenience of a managed authentication service with the control of self-hosting. It's open source, free for unlimited users, and offers a modular architecture that decouples features, allowing use for just login, just session management, or both. Its design prioritizes security, developer experience, and user privacy.
