Custom Authentication Flows for Modern Applications with Auth0 Actions

via egghead.io

Overview

**Auth0** Actions are serverless developer tools you can use to customize the authentication experience in your application. Actions allow developers to extend Auth0 beyond what it can do out of the box by adding logic to login, user registration, password changes, and other events. You can quickly solve complex identity problems without hosting your own environment, and worrying about performance, maintenance, and security. Your code is stored and runs on infrastructure owned and maintained by Auth0. Actions are JavaScript functions that run as part of a flow. Action integrations can be installed in the Dashboard, or Actions can be written directly in the Dashboard’s JavaScript code editor. With the drag-and-drop flow editor, you can visually arrange Actions to build custom identity flows. You don’t have to rewrite your code to reorder and reconfigure functions. Follow along with Will Johnson as you download a sample application configured with Auth0, then write code for several Actions. Some examples of Actions you can create: - Block access from certain countries with an Action from the Auth0 marketplace. - Use an npm package and secrets to send a Slack message. - Redirect users to an a URL after login and back to Auth0 - This course will give you a solid foundation to start developing your own Actions.
