Auth0 solves pretty much every problem I've encountered. Which is admittedly, not a whole lot. It's not that these are super hard problems, it's just that it often seems like a waste of time. Instead of working on authentication and authorization, I'd much rather focus on the actual functionality.
Problems I encountered:
* Normalized user profile using data from various identity providers [1].
* Passwordless login [2].
* Using custom SMS gateway for passwordless login or 2FA [3]
There are not a stable, polished, feature rich alternatives to Auth0 that are affordable. I know that's a lot to ask for, but since you're asking. Auth0 is very nice, but prohibitively expensive. There are also not a lot of maintained and stable alternatives. Pretty much the only one I am aware of is Keycloak.

- aichbauer 7y agoThank you for your answer. Yeah, I encountered the same problem. When you want to start to work on a new project you do not want to waste time on authentication and authorization. Thanks for the links, you provided. I will take a look at closer look at Keycloak. Yeah, the problem with having 100 different user information and not one standardized way, is a big problem, do you think Auth0 and Keycloak(if they normalize) solve this problem in the best possible way? Passwordless logins and 2FA are a good thing to point out. I will take a closer look at these "problems"/"solutions".
