How to migrate from your authentication provider to Kinde

Switching authentication providers can be compared to ending a relationship, where the current provider no longer meets needs and becomes costly, prompting a move to a more supportive option like Kinde. The process involves several steps, beginning with assessing the current provider's potential challenges in switching, followed by signing up for Kinde and ensuring it meets all requirements. Users' details must be exported from the existing provider, and the switch should be prepared by setting up desired authentication methods such as passwordless or multi-factor authentication. User data can then be imported into Kinde, either with or without passwords, ensuring a seamless transition for most users. Some users may need to update their passwords, especially if authentication methods have been enhanced. Kinde emphasizes user ownership of data, allowing for easy departure and transfer of users if needed, fostering a partnership based on flexibility and support.
