TL:DR: In this article, we'll walk you through setting up an Auth0 Flow so you and your end users can easily see the Auth0's impact. (Typical set up time: < 5 mins)
Are you looking to kick the proverbial Auth0 tires? Do you want to quickly understand our solution before taking the IDaaS plunge? Maybe you need your boss and/or colleagues to use Auth0 in your next project and want an easy way to present our features. Or perhaps you want to explain identity to your customer or client. Whatever the reason might be, Auth0 Flows is a great tool to help cut through the complexities of identity with branded visualizations of the end-users' journey.
“The Auth0 flows tool helped our UX and design folks gain an understanding of how best to implement the login and sign up experience during our design phase. The biggest challenge with any new project is overcoming the ‘you don't know what you don't know’ challenge. Being able to visualize an end-to-end workflow and present something for business stakeholders to preview has been very helpful in overcoming the knowledge gap make the right decisions around our login and registration flows.”
