Last updated July 24, 2024
This guide will walk you through the process of integrating Frontegg's authentication system into your application to secure user access and ensure a smooth login experience.
Integrating Frontegg Authentication
- Choose an Authentication Method: Frontegg offers a variety of authentication methods to choose from, such as:
- Email & Password: The traditional method where users create an account with an email address and password.
- Social Logins: Allow users to sign in using their existing accounts from platforms like Google, Facebook, or other social media providers.
- SAML: Integrate with existing identity providers that support SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) for enterprise-level authentication.
- JWT: Utilize JSON Web Tokens (JWT) for authenticated communication between your application and Frontegg's services.
- Configure Authentication Settings: In your Frontegg dashboard, navigate to the "Authentication" or "Settings" section to configure the chosen authentication method.
- Implement Authentication Code: Frontegg provides clear documentation and code examples to integrate the chosen authentication method into your application's codebase. Typically, this involves adding client libraries, implementing API calls, and handling login callbacks.
- Customize Login Form: Customize the appearance and branding of your login form to match your application's design and make it visually appealing to your users.
- Test and Secure: Thoroughly test the authentication process to ensure all login methods function correctly. Implement security measures to prevent unauthorized access, such as password strength requirements, two-factor authentication, and session management.
