## What it is
Authing Guard is an embeddable SSO login form widget and UI component library from Authing, an enterprise identity provider. It ships framework-specific packages for React, Vue, Angular, and native JavaScript, supporting standard protocols like OIDC, OAuth2.0, SAML2, LDAP, and CAS.

## Use cases
- add a login form to my react app
- embed sso login widget in vue
- implement single sign-on with oidc
- add social login to my website
- integrate saml authentication in angular
- add mfa to my login flow
- unified login experience across web platforms

## When to choose
- you use Authing as your identity provider and want a ready-made, customizable login UI
- you need SSO with standard protocols (OIDC, OAuth2, SAML2, LDAP, CAS) without building auth UI from scratch
- you want consistent login across React, Vue, Angular, or plain JS frontends

## When to avoid
- you don't use Authing's cloud or self-hosted identity platform
- you need full control over authentication internals rather than a hosted widget
- you need a headless auth SDK without UI components

## Facets
