auth0 embedded login

Our recommendation is to use Universal Login when you use Auth0. The first and foremost reason is security. Using Auth0 Universal Login instead of embedding login in your application provides seamless CSRF protection. This helps prevent third-party impersonation or the hijacking of sessions.

Passwordless Authentication with Embedded Login. If you need to embed the login user interface in your application, you can do it by using our Embedded Passwordless API or our SDKs. Depending on the kind of application you want to build, you’ll need to implement it differently:

Embedded login allows your users to log directly into your application and transmit their credentials to the Auth0 server for authentication. This video will walk you through how to implement…

Handling of Id, Access, and Refresh tokens are by Auth0 itself hence, allowing you to focus on the application that you are building and worry less about the storage & access of tokens and security. In this blog, I will break down how I implemented an authentication flow using Auth0 and React.

You can read more about login with auth0 here: https://auth0.com/docs/login/embedded–login. https://auth0.com/docs/login/embedded–login/cross–origin-authentication. Yep, you can integrate the reset password process, which is almost entirely handled by auth0 itself.

You can follow Embedded Login and use Lock.js, Auth0.js or a custom UI and just calling the Auth0 Authentication API (ROPG). (Keep in mind that a SPA can’t hold a client secret.) What’s the reason you prefer the embedded login over a redirect flow (as there are definitive some downsides to it.)

Capture the user identifier in your application (the user’s email or phone number) and invoke the /passwordless/start endpoint to initiate the passwordless flow. The user will get an email, an SMS with a one-time-use code, or a magic link.

It should be possible using the MFA API directly in combination with embedded login via Lock for example, but I am unable to find any samples of the sort. Embedded passwordless login may be another option to look into.
