What can I use Entry for?

Entry simplifies user lifecycle management, from registration and verification to login and deprovisioning. Typically these workflows are done with multiple different products, integrating and maintaining them is difficult.

Entry can be used both in connection with your existing user directory, and as the main source of truth about your users.

The typical scenario is this:

  • You have one or more applications that need to share users between them.

  • There is a need for a simple, reliable, and secure login process, preferably with multiple factors.

  • You need to be sure that users, both existing and new ones, are who they say they are.

Entry's integration with OpenID Connect makes it really flexible in integrations. It functions as a drop-in replacement for all your user directories, services for verification, etc., giving you instead access to all our verified users via an API.

How can I integrate Entry?

Entry maximizes compatibility with the existing, proven technologies. For integrations, it relies on the two most widely used protocols, OpenID Connect and SAML:

  • OpenID Connect is a simple, flexible protocol for authenticating users and retrieving their user profile. This is the recommended protocol to use with your own apps.

  • SAML is mostly for connecting enterprise apps, such as G Suite or Slack.

We provide a range of guides that explain how to easily add Entry to your application, or as an SSO. The list of guides is constantly growing here: Quickstarts
