Auth via Identity Providers
Rolling your own authentication is a massive liability. Offload the risk of password hashing and session management.
OIDC vs SAML
Enterprise clients require SAML 2.0 to integrate with their Active Directory. Modern consumer apps use OpenID Connect (OIDC). Both mechanisms remove passwords from your database entirely.
| Protocol | Format | Primary Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| SAML 2.0 | XML (Assertions) | Enterprise SSO (Okta, PingIdentity) |
| OIDC | JSON (JWT) | Consumer Auth (Google Auth, Auth0) |
