Unified Login
Overview
The Unified Login feature helps you in scenarios which involve different types of applications using a common Authorization Server. With it you can configure a common OAuth2 Provider that authenticates all your clients.
Prerequisites
This feature is only available to paid users.
Before you can dive deeper in the functionality there are a few things to keep in mind:
- The feature is available with the SuperTokens Managed Service. It is not included in the Self-Hosted version.
- You can use it with the
Node.jsor thePythonbackend SDKs. Ongolangyou have to wait for the next releases or configure a separate Authorization Service. - Magic link based login is not supported. However, you can switch to
email/SMSOTP instead. This method offers the same level of security. - Step Up Authentication is not available out of the box. You have to use customizations to support the flow.
Getting started
Three separate quickstart guides are available for you to follow. They organize the content based on the specific use case that you want to implement.
Before you explore a guide, read through the OAuth2 Basics page first. It explains concepts used in each tutorial.
