TOKYO -- August 26, 2019 -- Auth0, a global leader in Identity-as-a-Service (IDaaS) today announced that LINE, the dominant communication app in Japan, is now supported as a social identity provider for Auth0. LINE Login enables developers to quickly and seamlessly integrate it into their applications, making social login easier for millions of consumers across Japan.
With more than 81 million monthly active users in Japan, LINE is one of the most widely-used messaging apps for seamlessly connecting people, information, services, business, and brands. Now available on the Auth0 platform, LINE is joining more than 30 other social identity providers, enabling Auth0 customers to integrate LINE Login in as little as a few minutes.
