Okta is, if you may excuse my French, straight garbage.

And too bad for everyone who was using their former competitor Auth0.

  • I had a fairly fun time using Auth0 a few years back. The ability to run arbitrary code hooks at various points allowed us to do pretty interesting stuff in a managed way without resorting to writing or self-hosting something that was entirely flexible.

Why if I may ask?

  • Security and safety is all over their marketing but I have yet to hear anything about them that doesn't indicate either bumbling incompetence or gross negligence.

  • It's a fair question. I found them way better to implement SSO in my small startup than OneLogin.

    Using Auth0 in apps, I find their documentation bafflingly difficult to read. It's not like being thrown in the deep end unexpected to swim. It's like being injected at the bottom of the deep end.God help the poor non-native English speakers on my team who have to slog through it.
