CentralAuth

CentralAuth is an authentication service that provides user login functionality for web applications. The platform implements security protocols and authentication flows, allowing development teams to integrate user authentication without building these systems internally.

Authentication Methods

The service supports multiple authentication approaches:

• Passkeys for passwordless authentication using biometric data or hardware security keys
• Email-based authentication without password requirements
• The official CentralAuth mobile app
• OAuth integration with Google, Microsoft, GitHub and additional providers

Implementation

CentralAuth integrates with existing application architectures through several methods. CentralAuth provides an NPM package with TypeScript definitions, a REST API with documentation and compatibility with frameworks like Next.js, Express etc. Applications can implement authentication through redirect flows, direct API calls or embedded login components.

Session Management

Unlike other authentication services, CentralAuth performs ongoing session validation beyond initial authentication. It monitors for unauthorized access attempts and irregular usage patterns, terminating sessions when security threats are detected. This continuous verification addresses scenarios where authentication tokens may be compromised after successful login.

Interface Customization

Login interfaces can be styled to match application branding. The service supports custom domains to maintain consistent user experience and provides multi-language interface options. Organizations can modify visual elements including colors and logos or enable whitelabel support.

Multi-organization Structure

CentralAuth separates user data and configuration by organization. Each organization maintains independent user databases, authentication policies, and branding configurations. This structure accommodates tenants managing multiple client projects and applications serving different customer bases.

CentralAuth handles authentication infrastructure requirements, allowing development teams to allocate resources toward core application functionality while maintaining standard security practices for user access management.
