Product Updates

AuthN available in Beta- AuthN Beta is now available, making authentication integration with your app easier than ever! We created a video walkthrough to help you navigate. You can choose multiple authentication methods, such as OAuth and email/password. AuthN supports MFA with an authenticator app, email, and SMS code options.

You can customize your authentication system by selecting presets or leveraging your branding in the auth flow from the Pangea console. Advanced AuthN settings include session management tokens, adjustable token lifetimes, CAPTCHA, and email verification.

There is a great sample app that integrates Pangea’s AuthN with Next.js, showing a simple way to add authentication to your web application. Check out the code on the GitHub repo here.

The SDK support for Python and Node.js is ready for use, with Golang, Java, and C# coming soon. Learn more about Pangea’s AuthN service.
