Users feel safer knowing that even if someone gets the password, but they can't access the accounts without the code on phone, and sometimes if no networks also with dynamically changing pin it also helps to sign in to the account without issues. Push notification also would be a great design so users can easily access it.

Whenever you need to provide Security Provider functionality for a web based application it is well suited. You can also integrate with other directory services (e.g. SAML, Facebook, Google), but not so easily with other Auth0 based services. The customization of the login page is very intuitive, but does not allow much customisation. using the integrated Cloud Directory, you do not need to integrate with existing security providers and you can build up your own user base - including Multi-Factor Authentication settings and password policies.

Usability

The app makes it pretty straightforward to add accounts by scanning QR codes or entering setup keys manually. Even if you’re not super tech-savvy, the initial setup is usually smooth. Once set up, I can quickly open the app and get the 2FA codes I need without any delays or complications. The codes refresh automatically and are easy to copy over.

Free and simple to use, no extra gadgets needed.


Quick codes generate instantly, and I don’t need a signal or internet.


Secure enough, much safer than SMS, and I’m in control since the codes live only on my device.


Supports tons of accounts I can manage my bank, work tools, social media, and more all in one place.


Overall, it felt like the best mix of convenience, security, and cost. Plus, it just works no fuss, no extra gear, just me and my phone.

Both the software have different use cases, like IBM Cloud App ID, which will be more suitable for internal websites and apps or specific event website authentications, Auth0 can be suitable for consumer websites, e-commerce sites, where social media login is preferred more by the users. Both have their own capabilities so can be chosen according to their needs.
