A practical guide to customizing AuthKit: Hints, branding, and org-specific signup rules
Blog post from WorkOS
AuthKit's hosted UI simplifies the initial stages of app development by providing built-in features such as password policies, email verification, MFA enrollment, bot detection, and SSO routing. As applications grow, customization needs arise, like skipping screens or making sign-ups invite-only, leading teams to choose between enhancing the hosted UI or switching to a headless Authentication API. The hosted UI can be customized through parameters, branding, and CSS to address many advanced requests without coding, while the Authentication API offers full UI control for more complex needs. Organization-level settings allow control over who can register by using domain and organization policies, managing features like disabling sign-up or auto-membership to suit specific organizational requirements. AuthKit provides a flexible approach to authentication, balancing the ease of its hosted UI with the depth of customization through its API, enabling teams to tailor their authentication processes without sacrificing security or user experience.
