AuthKit is WorkOS's authentication UI and User Management platform, offering a fully themeable hosted login box or a headless API for building custom authentication frontends. This repository contains example applications demonstrating both the hosted UI and self-hosted custom UI approaches built on Radix design system components.

Use cases

  • add login to my web app
  • implement single sign-on with SAML
  • add social login with Google and GitHub
  • set up multi-factor authentication
  • build a custom authentication UI
  • add passwordless magic code login
  • manage users with role-based access control
  • theme a login page to match my brand

When to choose

  • you want a production-ready, enterprise-grade authentication solution with SSO, MFA, and directory sync
  • you want a beautiful, customizable login UI without building it from scratch
  • your app needs to become enterprise-ready with SAML and SCIM support
  • you prefer headless APIs to build your own auth frontend

When to avoid

  • you need fully self-hosted authentication with no external service dependency
  • you don't want to create a WorkOS account or rely on a commercial platform
  • you need a simple self-contained auth library without a hosted component
  • your project requires offline or air-gapped authentication
