Zitadel

Zitadel is a tool that manages who can log into your application and what they can do once inside. You can set it up to handle user accounts, control access to different features, and keep track of security events. Unlike building your own login system, Zitadel provides everything ready to use.

It supports modern login methods like social accounts (Google, Facebook), company systems (Microsoft, Okta), and passwordless options using fingerprints or face recognition. The platform uses standard protocols that work with any application, so your app simply talks to Zitadel without needing custom code for each login method.

There is a free tier that works for small projects, and paid plans that add more users, better support, and advanced features for growing businesses.

Using Zitadel is straightforward. Here are the steps to get started:

• Sign up for free at zitadel.com or install it on your own server if you prefer full control over your data.

• Create an organization which acts as a container for your users and applications. This keeps everything organized, especially if you manage multiple products.

• Add your application by selecting the type (web app, mobile app, or API) and following the setup guide. Zitadel gives you clear instructions for connecting your app.

• Configure login options by choosing which methods your users can use - password, social login, company SSO, or passwordless. You can customize the login page to match your brand.

• Invite users or let them sign up themselves. You can also import existing user lists if moving from another system.
