Ory is an open-source identity and access management platform that provides secure authentication, authorization, and user management for modern applications.
What is Ory
Ory is a complete identity management system that handles user authentication and access control for web and mobile applications. It combines several specialized tools that work together to protect your application and manage who can access what.
The platform includes components for user login and registration, OAuth and social sign-in connections, permission management, and API security. Unlike closed systems where you cannot see how things work, Ory is open source, meaning the code is public and can be reviewed by anyone. This makes it more trustworthy and secure.
You can choose to use Ory Network, which is the hosted cloud version that Ory manages for you, or download the open-source version and run it on your own infrastructure. Both options give you strong security and the ability to customize everything to match your needs.
How to Use Ory
Getting started with Ory depends on whether you choose the cloud version or self-hosted option. Here are the main steps:
For Ory Network, sign up for a free developer account at ory.com and create your first project. The setup wizard guides you through basic configuration.
Choose your authentication methods such as email and password, social login with Google or GitHub, or passwordless options using codes sent to email.
Integrate Ory into your application using the provided SDKs for popular programming languages like JavaScript, Python, Go, or PHP. The documentation includes code examples for common frameworks.
Customize the user interface to match your brand. Ory provides ready-made UI components you can use, or build your own custom screens using the headless APIs.
Set up permissions and access rules to control what different users can do in your application. Test everything in the development environment before going live.
