Kinde has introduced a suite of new features aimed at enhancing user authentication and management as the year draws to a close. These updates include three new sign-up and sign-in options, such as beta support for Microsoft Azure AD for enterprise single sign-on (SSO) and the ability for users to log in using Apple IDs. A new feature allows administrators to restrict sign-ups solely to invited users, improving security alongside the introduction of multi-factor authentication (MFA) options like authenticator apps and one-time email codes. Additionally, Kinde now supports custom domains for a seamless on-brand user experience and offers a bulk user import tool to simplify transitioning from other authentication providers. The management API has been upgraded to facilitate user additions and API registration, underscoring Kinde's commitment to providing accessible, cost-effective authentication solutions that integrate seamlessly into products.
