SuperTokens
Open Source User Authentication. Build fast, maintain control, reduce costs.
SuperTokens is an open-source user authentication solution that lets developers add login, session management, and access control to their apps. It supports over 25 frameworks and languages, offering both a prebuilt UI and custom UI options hosted on your own domain. It can be self-hosted or used as a managed service, with features like passwordless login, email/password auth, SSO, RBAC, and plugin-based customization.
Developers integrate SuperTokens via frontend and backend SDKs, configure authentication recipes (e.g., email/password, passwordless), and either self-host the core service or use the managed cloud offering.
