# Authgear Overview



**Authgear** is an authentication & user management solution which makes it very easy for developers to integrate and customize their consumer applications, it includes these features out of the box:



* Zero trust authentication architecture with [OpenID Connect](https://openid.net/developers/how-connect-works/) (OIDC) standard.

* Easy-to-use interfaces for user registration and login, including email, phone, username as login ID, and password, OTP, magic links, etc for authentication.

* Support a wide range of identity providers, such as [Google](https://developers.google.com/identity), [Apple](https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/deployment/depa64848f3a/web), and [Azure Active Directory](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-gb/products/active-directory/) (AD).

* Support biometric login on mobile, Passkeys, and Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) such as SMS/email-based verification and authenticator apps with TOTP.

* A user management portal, like password resets, account locking, scheduled deletion or anonymization, and user profile management.

* Single Sign-On (SSO) provides a single unified experience for your customers to log into multiple web/mobile apps, including Web2Web, Web2App, and App2App SSO.

* Enable [SSO with SAML](authentication-and-access/single-sign-on/single-sign-on-with-saml/) for your users to log into multiple web applications easily.

* Session management with Authgear Portals, and a pre-built setting page for users to control concurrent sessions.

* Customizable UI with a **user-friendly low-code** dashboard. 

* Various security features such as audit logs, brute force protection, smart account lockout, password policy, etc.

* APIs for further integration and customizations. For example, build your own custom login and sign-up pages from the ground up powered by [Authentication Flow API](https://docs.authgear.com/~/changes/anTCj6yoZ06s3pLJk5v8/reference/apis/authentication-flow-api).



Most importantly, you can [get started](https://accounts.portal.authgear.com/signup) **with Authgear for free**.



### Learn about Authgear 



Authgear contains the following high-level components:



#### Authenticate on the Web/Mobile App



* **Client App SDKs** - for developers to quickly implement authentication with Auth UI on your web and mobile applications. Check out [Start Building](get-started/start-building.md) for tutorials and API References.

* **Auth UI** - is the default batteries included UI for login, signup and setting page. You can customize the style via the **Portal**, including the CSS and HTML of each page**.**

* [**Authentication Flow API**](customization/ui-customization/custom-ui/authentication-flow-api.md) - for developers to implement their own login, signup and reauthenticate UI (e.g. a mobile native view); or to define a customized login, signup and reauth flow.

* [**Use Authgear as OpenID Connect Provider**](authentication-and-access/single-sign-on/oidc-provider.md) - for developers to use Authgear with other software that already support OIDC login, you can use Authgear as an OpenID Connect Provider.



#### Backend Authentication and Integrations



* [**Backend/API Integration**](get-started/backend-api/) - explain the common approach of using Access Token or Cookies (JWT or random string) to authenticate an API or HTTP Requests.

* [**Admin API**](api-reference/apis/admin-api/) - allow your backend to interact directly with Authgear for user management purpose.

* [**Events and Hooks**](customization/events-hooks/) - call external web endpoint or use the hosted type-script to customize the behaviour of Authgear. E.g. blocking certain type of sign up, or call external endpoint for each login.
