Is SuperTokens Right For You?
SuperTokens provides a unique, highly secure architecture that eliminates common session management risks (like XSS and CSRF attacks) and is the only provider that scalably detects authentication token theft according to official OAuth 2.0 specifications. The modular, open-source approach ensures developers maintain full ownership of their data and infrastructure, avoiding vendor lock-in. The platform supports a variety of authentication methods, from traditional email/password to modern magic links and social login. For organizations needing compliance, its audit logs and self-host-controlled data retention are significant advantages.
