Less Legacy Code, More Operational Efficiency
Soon, SnelStart will activate Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) across its web and mobile platforms to offer another layer of security to its users. Like with SSO, de Schepper believes the ease of implementing MFA could save up to six months of development time. And for additional safety, the team is also considering adding Breached Password Detection which can notify or block users from logging in if Auth0 suspects their credentials were part of a security breach.
While SnelStart’s modern identity approach has improved its user experience and security, it’s also allowing them to focus time on removing legacy code and increasing internal operational efficiency.
“In the coming months, we will be removing huge amounts of legacy code and complexity from our landscape because we can move to the Auth0 best practices for things like changing your password.” says de Schepper. “Auth0 handles that for us, and that gives us back time from an operational perspective.”
With more development and operational capacity, SnelStart is testing new Auth0 use cases, such as authentication for a chatbot that customers can use to communicate with its administration via platforms like WhatsApp. “Our R&D team has used Auth0 very easily to implement that kind of authentication scenario,” says de Schepper. “With Auth0, we do some configuration without having to spend an insane amount of time, and we can be sure that we are safe.”
