WorkOS

WorkOS is an API platform that provides enterprise authentication and identity features for web applications. When you need to add features like company login systems or user management to your app, WorkOS provides the technical foundation.

The platform includes several key products. AuthKit handles user login and management with support for passwords, social logins, and security features. Single Sign-On lets enterprise customers use their company login systems. Directory Sync keeps user lists updated automatically from company directories. Audit Logs track important security events. Radar protects against bots and fake accounts.

Developers integrate WorkOS using APIs and software libraries for popular programming languages. The platform handles the complex technical work while you focus on building your main product.

Getting started with WorkOS follows a clear process:

• Create a free account on the WorkOS website and get your API keys from the dashboard.

• Choose which WorkOS product fits your needs. Most teams start with AuthKit for basic user login, then add enterprise features later.

• Install the WorkOS library for your programming language. They support JavaScript, Python, Ruby, Go, PHP, and other popular languages.

• Follow the setup guides in the documentation to add login pages to your application. The guides include code examples you can copy and adjust.

• Test your integration in the staging environment before going live. WorkOS provides separate environments for testing and production use.

• For enterprise features like Single Sign-On, send your customers a link to the Admin Portal where they can configure their company login system themselves without needing your help.
