Migrate from Auth0 to SuperTokens
Seamless, Lower costs, better control, and a modular, open-source auth system.
Migration Process Overview
1. Before You Start
2. Account Migration
3. Session Migration
SuperTokens Integration
Integrate SuperTokens in your current application using the quickstart tutorial. Save the values for the `CORE_API_ENDPOINT` and `CORE_API_KEY` variables. You are going to use them in the migration steps.
Legacy Credentials
Obtain the Auth0 Management API credentials or enable the Import/Export Extension to access user profiles and password hashes.
Account Migration
Use the SuperTokens SDK to migrate users from Auth0 to SuperTokens.
Export accounts from Auth0
Download all the user profiles and password-hashes using either the Auth0 Management API or the Import/Export Extension. After that, map the data based on the format accepted by the SuperTokens migration endpoints.
Start the bulk migration process
With the parsed data, call the `Add Users for Bulk Import` endpoint to stage the accounts for import. Users will then get picked up by an async job for processing.
You can check on the status of the job by polling the `count` route to figure out how many users are left.
Add the Session Migration Endpoint
Expose a new API rout from your backend application that converts active Auth0 sessions into Supertoken's sessions.
Call the Migration Endpoint from Your Frontend Application
Update your frontend application to migrate the authentication state and then revoke the Auth0 session.

FAQs
Why should I migrate from Auth0 to SuperTokens?
Auth0 is a powerful tool, but many teams migrate to SuperTokens for more control, better performance, transparent pricing, and the ability to self-host. SuperTokens provides a developer-friendly experience, flexibility in customization, and open-source transparency—without locking you into a black-box SaaS.
Is there a migration guide available for moving from Auth0 to SuperTokens?
Yes! We offer a step-by-step migration guide that covers moving user data, updating your authentication flows, and integrating SuperTokens into your existing application stack. Our team is also available to help guide you through the process.
Can I migrate my existing Auth0 users without forcing them to reset their passwords?
Yes, in most cases you can migrate users without requiring a password reset. This involves importing hashed passwords from Auth0 and configuring SuperTokens to validate them appropriately. We support common hashing algorithms like bcrypt, scrypt, and PBKDF2.
How do I handle social login users during migration?
For social login users (e.g., Google, GitHub, Facebook), SuperTokens allows you to map and migrate existing user records based on provider-specific user IDs or emails. After migration, users can continue logging in seamlessly.
What if my app uses Rules or Actions in Auth0?
SuperTokens offers flexible pre and post-authentication hooks that can replicate similar logic to Auth0 Rules or Actions. You can run custom code at different stages of the authentication lifecycle to achieve the same goals.
How long does the migration process typically take?
The time depends on the complexity of your setup and number of users. For small-to-medium projects, it can take a few days to a week. We recommend starting with a test environment and using our guide to ensure a smooth transition.
Can I run SuperTokens in a self-hosted environment?
Absolutely. One of SuperTokens' key advantages is that you can self-host the core so that user data remains entirely under your control. We also offer a managed cloud option if you prefer not to manage infrastructure.
Is SuperTokens GDPR/CCPA compliant?
Yes. SuperTokens is built with privacy and compliance in mind. If you self-host, you're in full control of where and how data is stored, making it easier to meet GDPR, CCPA, or other local data protection regulations.
Will my front-end code need to change?
Some updates to your front-end code will be necessary, especially for switching SDKs. However, SuperTokens provides React, Angular, Vue, and Vanilla JS SDKs with pre-built UI components to speed up the process.
Can SuperTokens integrate with my existing backend stack?
Yes. SuperTokens supports popular backend frameworks like Node.js, Go, Python, and more. We provide detailed integration guides and example apps to get you up and running quickly.
