Auth0 is excited to announce new enhancements to the Self-Service SSO experience:

__Self-Service SSO Ticket Creation in the Dashboard__

Tenant admins can now generate SSO tickets directly from the Manage Dashboard, removing the need for API access. This update simplifies the process for all teams and makes it easier to experiment, configure, and roll out federated SSO integrations.

__Enhanced SAML Configuration Options__

Tenant admins can now configure whether IdP-Initiated SSO is allowed at the time of ticket creation. Additionally, in the wizard, IT admins have the option to choose whether authentication requests should be signed, offering more flexibility and control to meet varying security and compliance needs.

![SS-SSO Ticket Creation](//images.ctfassets.net/kbkgmx9upatd/6rDbZaEUdVhIFOVOVQ2Nfo/a928026562badbe95eec425d11835bc4/Ticket_UI.gif)

These updates enhance accessibility, security, and ease of use. Learn more about Self-Service SSO in the [product documentation](https://auth0.com/docs/authenticate/enterprise-connections/self-service-SSO).

We’ve added Domain Verification to the Self-Service SSO workflow — making it easier and more secure for your customers to manage their SSO setup.

__Simpified & Secure__

Your customers can now verify domains directly within the Self-Service SSO wizard, reducing manual steps and ensuring only trusted domains are used for Home Realm Discovery (HRD). This strengthens security and eliminates the need for external verification workflows.

__Flexible Configuration Options__

As a tenant admin, you have control over how domain verification is enforced when creating Self-Service SSO tickets:

- Off – Domain verification is hidden from the wizard
- Optional – Customers can choose to skip verification and still enable connections
- Required – A domain must be verified before enabling the connection

This gives you the flexibility to balance user experience and security based on your customers' needs.

![SS-SSO - Domain Verification](//images.ctfassets.net/kbkgmx9upatd/7ohB4piUd4mBs5P84ZfmPj/d2f8c2731e70ce06c884346fd9293d49/SS-DoVe.gif)

We’ve updated our bot detection model to improve accuracy and keep up with evolving traffic patterns.

- __Improved detection__: The new model is more effective at identifying and stopping bot activity.

- __More computationally efficient__: Updated architecture enables more efficient decision-making.

- __Trained on fresh data__: Reflects the latest trends in traffic to better spot malicious behavior.

This enhanced security capability is now available to all Enterprise customers with the __Attack Protection__ add-on. The rollout is currently underway and will be completed in the coming weeks, aligned with individual customer release schedules.

For details on activation or to learn more, please refer to our [documentation](https://auth0.com/docs/secure/attack-protection/bot-detection) or reach out to your account team. We are here to support you in protecting your systems against evolving threats.

The Auth0 Dashboard allows customers to reset the code for a Custom Provider when they click the Reset button. Previously, this experience was different across Custom Email and Phone Provider in both the behavior of the button and the text displayed throughout the reset process. This behavior has been fixed, and now the reset functionality is consistent across both features. 

Auth0 Customers have historically struggled to easily discover changes to the User Lifecycle (user create, updated or deleted), by relying on suboptimal solutions such as Actions or Logs.

Event Streams changes this: customers can now subscribe to [events](https://auth0.com/docs/deploy-monitor/events/event-types#user-event-types) that trigger each time there is a change in the User Lifecycle, regardless of the connection the customer was created, and route those events to either a [Webhook](https://auth0.com/docs/deploy-monitor/events/create-an-event-stream#webhooks) or [AWS EventBridge](https://auth0.com/docs/deploy-monitor/events/create-an-event-stream#aws-eventbridge).

Auth0 is now accepting Beta Testers to this new feature.  See the [Auth0 Docs](https://auth0.com/docs/deploy-monitor/events) for further instructions.

This feature gives developers better observability regarding Actions execution errors both at the Auth0 Dashboard and external Log Stream Platforms. 

Here's a summary of the key points:

- __Execution Error Handling:__ The feature captures the unhandled Actions execution errors and facilitates them as Tenant logs.
- __Event Log Type:__  There is a [new Event Log Type](https://auth0.com/docs/deploy-monitor/logs/log-event-type-codes "actions_execution_failed") regarding Actions execution errors that can be visualized at the Dashboard > Monitoring > Logs.
- __Log Streams:__ The new event log type is also sent through Log Streams.
- __Log Stream Filter:__ There is a [new Log Stream Filter](https://auth0.com/docs/customize/log-streams/event-filters#actions-event-filters "Action Execution - Failure") focused on Actions execution errors.

We’ve added a new language option-Japanese-to help our users in Japan and beyond build secure identity solutions more easily. If your language preference is set to Japanese in your browser settings, Auth0 will detect this and automatically serve the Dashboard and Documentation in Japanese. You can manually override this setting in the Auth0 Dashboard and Docs via the language switcher in the top-right corner.

Integrating Auth0 Guardian into your iOS projects is now easier than ever with Swift Package Manager (SPM) support! With this update, you can seamlessly add Guardian authentication directly in Xcode—no manual setup required.

 **Credential Guard** is now supported for Private Cloud on Azure customers! 

 This enhancement brings:  

- 🔍 **Proactive Threat Hunting** – A dedicated security team infiltrates criminal communities and gains access to breach data that isn’t otherwise available–enabling detection of compromised passwords within 12–36 hours instead of the traditional months
- ⏱ **Faster Detection** – Detects breaches 250% faster than standard automated solutions 
- 🌍 **Expanded Coverage** – Automates breached password detection coverage in over **200+ countries and territories**, ensuring that users worldwide receive consistent, localized protection.  

For additional details and to learn how to enable **Credential Guard**, please view our online documentation [here](https://auth0.com/docs/secure/attack-protection/breached-password-detection#detect-breaches-faster-with-credential-guard).  

We’re excited to announce that __Custom Phone Providers and the Unified Phone Experience__ are now Generally Available.

__Custom Phone Providers__: With this feature, customers can configure custom phone providers and customize phone messages not only when leveraging phone number as an identifier, but also when using MFA and Passwordless! Auth0’s CI/CD tooling (Auth0 CLI, Deploy CLI, and Terraform Provider) now fully supports Custom Phone Providers. To access these new capabilities, upgrade to the latest versions of Auth0 CLI, Deploy CLI, and Terraform Provider.

We encourage you to get started with Custom Phone Providers today by checking out our [documentation](https://auth0.com/docs/customize/phone-messages/configure-phone-messaging-providers/configure-a-custom-phone-provider) and if you have any feedback, give us a shout in our [community channel](https://community.auth0.com/)!

__Unified Phone Experience__: The Unified Phone Experience offers a consolidated experience where you can configure a tenant-level phone provider that will be used for Phone as ID, MFA, and Passwordless flows. Additionally, the management of phone templates will be centralized on a single page. This unification aims to reduce redundancy across Auth0 features and present a more streamlined user experience. The unified experience will be the default for any new tenants created after this release, and existing tenants will have the ability to revert to the legacy experience if desired.

We encourage you to try out the new Unified Phone Experience and provide feedback and questions to us through our [community channel](https://community.auth0.com/). Information on how to migrate to the new experience can be found [here](https://auth0.com/docs/customize/phone-messages/unified-phone).

We're improving both account security and user experience by extending **Breached Password Detection** to the **password reset flow**.  

#### 🔹 What’s New?  
Previously, users could unknowingly reset their passwords to compromised credentials, creating security risks and potentially requiring another reset. 

With this update, you can now prevent users from setting their password to a known breached credential during the reset flow -just like during sign-up and login.  

Additionally, with this rollout we have also **increased coverage** of Breached Password Detection on Sign-Up to cover the **Management API**!

#### 🚀 Benefits  

**Stronger security** – Protects against compromised credentials at every stage.

 **Better user experience** – Avoids unnecessary password resets by blocking breached passwords upfront.  

This update helps prevent your users from using known compromised credentials throughout their password lifecycle, giving your users stronger security on their accounts.   

For additional details and to learn how to enable **Breach Password Detection on Password Reset Flows**, please view our online documentation [here](https://auth0.com/docs/secure/attack-protection/breached-password-detection).  


This feature allows developers to ensure their custom database scripts are compatible with specific Node.js runtime versions. 

Here's a summary of the key points:

- __Bulk Testing Compatibility:__ The feature can test the compatibility of custom database scripts with different supported Node.js runtime versions.
- __Database Connections Limit:__ It is available if your tenant has 1 to 10 database connections with custom database scripts enabled.
- __Navigation Path:__ The feature can be accessed by going to Tenant Settings → Advanced → Extensibility → Verify Custom DB Scripts.

__Actions Based on Results:__ After testing, the results can be verified and corrective actions can be taken if any compatibility issues are identified.

Checkout our online documentation to learn more about [Extensibility Tenant Settings](https://auth0.com/docs/get-started/tenant-settings#extensibility "Extensibility Tenant Settings")!

We have deprecated the Node.js 12 and 16 extensibility runtimes in all environments and recommend using the Node.js 22 runtime for your extensibility integrations (such as Actions, Rules, Hooks, Custom Database Connections, and Custom Social Connections).

We have provided additional information and timelines for removing the deprecated runtimes through a dashboard and support center notification.

We have deprecated the invalidation of user sessions when performing database connection user update (PATCH - `/api/v2/users/{id}`) requests where:
* The `email` or `email_verified` attributes are set to an unchanged value;
* The `email_verified` attribute is set to a `true` value.

These changes allow for consistent behavior between setting an email as verified through the Management API and the built-in email verification flows provided by the service. In addition, it improves the overall end-user experience by avoiding session invalidation in situations that do not require it, such as setting either the `email` or `email_verified` attributes to unchanged values.

The dashboard will be updated with a migration toggle to opt out of the deprecated behavior ahead of its future end-of-life; we have provided additional information and timelines for enforcing this change through a [dashboard and support center notification](https://manage.auth0.com/#/notifications/67ab8c121f5c740896fcfd19).


End User TOTP enrollment for Native devices is now more intelligent! For end users enrolling into a TOTP factor on a mobile device, Auth0 skips the QR code and prompts for manual code entry with the QR code as a fall back option. Check out [Auth0 Temporary OTP](https://auth0.com/docs/secure/multi-factor-authentication/auth0-guardian#temporary-one-time-passwords) for more detail!

__Email OTP Verification__ is now __Generally Available (GA)__, minor improvements will continue to roll out over the next __1-4 weeks__ to enhance performance and usability.

With __Email OTP Verification__, users are required to enter a One-Time Password (OTP) sent to their email during the signup or password reset process. This ensures email verification happens __before__ account creation or password reset is completed, offering enhanced security and reducing the chances of mistyped or fake email accounts.

__Key Highlights:__

- __Synchronous Email Verification:__ Prevents account creation or password reset until users verify their email via OTP.
- __Improved Security:__ Helps prevent fake accounts, ensures accurate email addresses, and discourages phishing through email links.
- __Applicability:__ Available for both email verification during signup and password reset challenges.

__Prerequisites:__

- Must be using __Universal Login__.
- Connection must have __Flexible Identifiers__ enabled.
- Email OTP is only compatible when using the __Identifier First Authentication Profile__.

To enable this feature, navigate to the __Attributes__ tab on any connection and change the __Verification Method__ under the __Email__ attribute settings from __Verification Link__ to __OTP__.

We’re thrilled to announce that Auth0 now supports Universal Logout integration with Okta Workforce Identity Cloud!

Okta Universal Logout is based on the [Global Token Revocation](https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-parecki-oauth-global-token-revocation-04.html) specification and allows security incident management tools [Okta Identity Threat Protection](https://www.okta.com/products/identity-threat-protection/) to send back-channel requests to revoke users' sessions and refresh tokens when they identify a change in risk.

With this feature, Auth0 customers federating with Okta Workforce Identity using the [Okta](https://auth0.com/docs/authenticate/identity-providers/enterprise-identity-providers/okta), [SAML](https://auth0.com/docs/authenticate/identity-providers/enterprise-identity-providers/saml), or [OpenID Connect](https://auth0.com/docs/authenticate/identity-providers/enterprise-identity-providers/oidc) connection types no longer need to build a global token revocation endpoint. Instead, with minimal configuration required, they can provide the Okta admin with Auth0’s connection-specific endpoint URL.

This integration provides security benefits for apps that depend on refresh tokens and Auth0 sessions, as both are revoked when Auth0 receives a Universal Logout request for a user. This integration can also trigger Auth0's OIDC back-channel logout feature to terminate custom application sessions.

To learn more about Universal Logout support in Auth0, click [here](https://auth0.com/docs/authenticate/login/logout/universal-logout).

This feature will be rolled out to all public cloud environments over the next few days and to private cloud environments as per their release pipeline.


We are excited to introduce the Per-Module Authorization feature. This enables large organizations to securely share authorization models by specifying which application credentials can update data for specific modules.

Teams that are responsible for their own separate services can now limit access to modification of authorization data on a per-module basis. Last year, we released [Modular Models](https://docs.fga.dev/modeling/modular-models), where a single model could be separated into modules across multiple files, allowing teams to use features in their source code management platforms (such as GitHub’s [CODEOWNERS](https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/managing-your-repositorys-settings-and-features/customizing-your-repository/about-code-owners) feature) to enforce access on who can modify parts of a model.

Per-Module Authorization builds on top of that work to further define permissions for applications. Workflows can be implemented where different teams maintain their portion of an FGA model independently and also ensure that the services and applications owned by the respective teams can only modify their own authorization data.

For more details, refer to Okta FGA’s [documentation](https://docs.fga.dev/intro/dashboard#grant-authorized-clients-access-to-write-specific-modules) on how to grant client credentials access to only specific modules.


Customers now have Enhanced Rate Limit Reporting via Logs, including:
- Increased Rate Limit Log (api_limit) Publishing Frequency:  receive 1X per minute notifications indicating when you have exhausted a rate limit.
- New Rate Limit Warning Log (api_limit_warning):  receive 1X per minutes notifiactions indicating when you have exhuasted 80% of your rate limit request token allocation.
- Enhanced Logs Schema:  additional attributes of HTTP path and method and bucket size will be included to allow for easier mapping between Logs and API Rate Limit Configuration Docs.  https://auth0.com/docs/troubleshoot/customer-support/operational-policies/rate-limit-policy/rate-limit-configurations

We are excited to announce the next major version of Next.js SDK. With the introduction of [nextjs-auth0 v4](https://github.com/auth0/nextjs-auth0), we now support Next.js 15 and React 19, allowing developers to leverage the latest features and improvements in both frameworks. 
This compatibility not only enhances the development experience but also ensures that applications can take full advantage of performance optimizations. This updated SDK features a simplified architecture and is edge-compatible by default, enhancing performance and flexibility for developers. 

What’s new: 
- __Middleware-Based Authentication:__ Improved compatibility and reduced maintenance by moving to middleware-based handlers.
- __Enhanced Security:__ Switched to encrypted cookies and removed outdated cookie logic.
- __Resolved State Mismatch Issues:__ Fixed long-standing issues reported by the community.
- __Improved Session Management:__ Implemented rolling sessions and eliminated cookie chunking.
- __Improved Hooks and Helpers:__ Introduced useUser(), getAccessToken(), and getSession() for easier data fetching and session handling.
- __Stateful Sessions with Custom Databases:__ Support for "Bring Your Own Database" (BYODB).
- Compatibility with __Next.js 15__, __Turbopack__, and __React 19__
- __Simplified architecture__, API, and configuration options

- [Migration Guide](https://github.com/auth0/nextjs-auth0/blob/v4/V4_MIGRATION_GUIDE.md)

__What’s Changing:__
We are improving the Dashboard configuration experience for email providers. The default From address field will be required when creating or updating email provider configuration through the Dashboard. Customers do not need to take immediate action, and the Management API will maintain the field as optional for backward compatibility.

__Key Dashboard Updates:__

1. __Configuring New Email Providers__: Customers must supply a default From address when configuring a new email provider.
2. __Changing Existing Email Providers__: Customers must supply a default From address when updating an existing email provider. Existing configured email providers that do not have a From address configured will continue to work as before.

__Why This Matters__: An email provider configured without a default From address may lead to a poor user experience because email template customizations are not supported when a customer-defined From address is unavailable. By requiring a default From address at the email provider level, email template customizations will be respected even if the email template does not have a template-specific From address.

__Rollout Timing__: We plan to roll out this change in the coming days. After the rollout, customers can expect to see the enforcement of this required field on the Dashboard.

We’re excited to announce that __Custom Email Providers__ is now __Generally Available__.

With this feature, customers can configure custom email providers and customize emails so they can have full control of the email delivery process. This feature utilizes the Actions framework and leverages the Actions Code Editor so you can more completely manage, monitor, and troubleshoot your email communications. Auth0’s CI/CD tooling (Auth0 CLI, Deploy CLI, and Terraform Provider) now fully supports Custom Email Providers. To access these new capabilities, upgrade to the latest versions of Auth0 CLI, Deploy CLI, and Terraform Provider.

We encourage you to get started with Custom Email Providers today by checking out our [documentation](https://auth0.com/docs/customize/email/configure-a-custom-email-provider) and if you have any feedback, give us a shout in our [community channel](https://community.auth0.com/)!

This Beta feature logs in real-time output form your custom Actions code. This includes all console.log output and exceptions.

For example, a custom Action code such as below:

    console.log("Hello world!");

Will show up within Dashboard > Monitoring > Actions Logs as

![Actions Real Time logs](//images.ctfassets.net/kbkgmx9upatd/6v7b2XDiOVFXJa1haVksyR/96d19473a46441c432e6997d5594a06f/Screenshot_2025-01-20_at_5.19.02_PM.png)

You can also use examples such as below to catch and log errors for making it easy to debug and troubleshoot your Actions.

    try {
      nonExistentFunction();
    } catch (error) {
      console.error(error);
      // Expected output: ReferenceError: nonExistentFunction is not defined
      // (Note: the exact output may be browser-dependent)
    }

These logs are not stored and are only available within the dashboard when you are logged in and are on the Dashboard > Monitoring > Actions Logs tab within the browser. These logs are designed to help you troubleshoot as you write or modify your custom Actions code.

Node.js 22 is now generally available (GA) as a runtime for your extensibility integrations (such as Actions, Rules, Hooks, Custom Database Connections etc).

New Actions created will now default to Node 22 as the runtime. As part of this release, we have also split runtime selection for Legacy Extensibility (for Rules & Hooks) separate from the general Extensibility (for Custom Database Scripts & Custom Social Connections). These setting are available within [Tenant > Settings > Advanced](https://manage.auth0.com/#/tenant/advanced) and allows you to individually manage desired runtime configuration as required.

![Extensibility Runtime](//images.ctfassets.net/kbkgmx9upatd/64aCyAYo4gSPYJmQ9pM3o0/c6952971e36570f1552b91283bb976c0/Screenshot_2025-01-10_at_12.32.07_PM.png)

Please [refer to our docs](https://auth0.com/docs/troubleshoot/product-lifecycle/deprecations-and-migrations/migrate-nodejs-22) for more details on how to migrate to Node 22.


We are delighted to announce that support for the Client-Initiated Backchannel Authentication (CIBA) flow is now available in Early Access. 

The CIBA flow works as a *decoupled authentication flow* across two different devices: 
- Consumption device: initiates the authentication request.
- Authentication device: handles end-user authentication, implemented as a custom mobile app which embeds the Guardian mobile SDK.

The CIBA flow supports a number of powerful use cases driven by backend client applications, such as: 

- Customer authentication by headless devices or devices with limited interaction capabilities. 
- Customer authentication in call centre scenarios.
- Authorising sensitive operations on behalf of yourself or a third-party e.g. a customer service agent.  

To evaluate CIBA for securing your sensitive customer interactions, contact your Technical Account Manager. For more details, check out our [product documentation](https://auth0.com/docs/get-started/authentication-and-authorization-flow/client-initiated-backchannel-authentication-flow).

We’ve added the **Organization ID** to the [Auth0 Tenant Logs](https://auth0.com/docs/deploy-monitor/logs/log-event-type-codes) for the **Successfully revoked a refresh token (srrt)** event. This enhancement allows you to correlate the organization associated with the revoked refresh token for improved tracking and auditing.


We have increased the max secret value length from 2048 to 4096 to allow for larger secrets to be stored within Actions.

![Actions Secrets](//images.ctfassets.net/kbkgmx9upatd/52TGNtKI3IvOndGaRrRZeE/8798f00f8f923d287cfcadd854e6f632/Screenshot_2024-12-20_at_12.09.07_PM.png)

You can [refer to our docs](https://auth0.com/docs/customize/actions/limitations) for further details on Actions limitations.

We're excited to introduce the new 10,000 RPS (100x) tier for Auth0 Private Cloud Performance offering on AWS. This enhanced tier supports a higher volume of authentication requests, complementing the existing 30x and 60x tiers for customers who need high performance thresholds.

Please see [Private Cloud documentation](https://auth0.com/docs/deploy-monitor/deploy-private-cloud/private-cloud-on-aws) to learn more.

Introducing a new capability within the Security Center Dashboard offering - __Security Center Alerts for Thresholds__ Early Access. This new feature expands on the Security Center metrics and Thresholds to allow Enterprise customers to not only monitor their tenant security but also receive notifications when a threat metric exceeds their predefined thresholds. 
Customers can now configure __webhook alert notifications__ on security threat metrics and monitor when threats exceed the acceptable value.  

To learn more Alerts for Thresholds, click [here](https://auth0.com/docs/secure/security-center/security-alerts)

Auth0 is pleased to announce the Early Access (EA) of enhanced support for customer data recovery. This resilience feature is available to a set of Private cloud customers during EA. It would come handy in the event of customer data loss or data corruption, and would assist customers in meeting regulatory requirements such as European Union’s Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA).

Customer will be able to request restoration of their production Private Cloud space from a backup within the past 14 days. Please refer to [Operational policies](https://auth0.com/docs/troubleshoot/customer-support/operational-policies) documentation for details.

The new Bot Detection ML model designed to detect signup attacks is now available for Classic Login and Custom Login implementations. 

For customers using Classic or Custom login experiences, this enhancement leverages advanced machine learning to identify and block automated signup attacks effectively.

For those using New Universal Login, no configuration changes are required. This feature was rolled out for New Universal Login in September, as highlighted in the changelog [here](https://auth0.com/changelog#7o1YXe52Gl7jEYENzFikEn).

Below is the demo showcasing how to enable this feature in Auth0 for Classic and Custom Login experiences.

We’re excited to announce that we’ve __increased the number of metadata slots for Organizations from 10 to 25__! This enhancement provides you with more flexibility to store and manage additional data within your organization, enabling a more customized and efficient approach to your workflows.

To learn more about Organizations, click [here](https://auth0.com/docs/manage-users/organizations).

We are delighted to announce that Customer Managed Keys is now generally available. This solution within the Highly Regulated Identity solution suite enables organizations to comply with cryptographic key-related security policies for data protection. Customer Managed Keys provides customers with two options for key management: Control Your Own Key and Bring Your Own Key. 

With Control Your Own Key, you can manage the lifecycle of the Tenant Master Key according to your security policy. Bring Your Own Key allows you to maintain ownership of the Root Key that protects the encryption key hierarchy. These features enable compliance with cryptographic key-related security policies for data protection.

![](https://cdn.auth0.com/blog/cmk_byok.gif)

You can read more about this in our [product documentation](https://auth0.com/docs/secure/highly-regulated-identity/customer-managed-keys).

We added a new API command available in the Password Reset / PostChallenge trigger.  This API allows Tenant Developers to specify the url to redirect a user to upon the completion of a password reset on Universal Login.  

Here is an example of using the command to redirect the user to a sample url after a successful password reset: 

      exports.onExecutePostChallenge = async (event, api) => {
        api.transaction.setResultUrl('https://yourapp.yourdomain.com/profile');
      };

You can learn more in our [reference documentation.](https://auth0.com/docs/customize/actions/explore-triggers/password-reset-triggers/post-challenge-trigger/post-challenge-api-object)

We’ve introduced a new Batch Check endpoint to the Okta FGA API, allowing clients to batch multiple authorization checks into a single request. This enhancement reduces the network latency associated with previously needing to performing multiple Check API requests in parallel, resulting in faster and more efficient requests for applications with high authorization demands.

For more details, refer to the [Okta FGA Batch Check documentation](https://docs.fga.dev/integration/perform-check#03-calling-batch-check-api).

We’re thrilled to announce that our fourth-generation Bot Detection has been upgraded to incorporate additional aggregated tenant-level insights. This upgrade strengthens bot detection across both public and private cloud environments, providing a more precise and robust defense against malicious activity while ensuring a seamless and secure experience for all users. 

This enhanced security capability is now available to all Enterprise customers with the Attack Protection add-on. The rollout is currently underway and will be completed in the coming weeks, aligned with individual customer release schedules.

We have transitioned the Rules and Hooks features to a read-only mode in all public cloud environments as part of their [announced deprecation](https://auth0.com/docs/troubleshoot/product-lifecycle/deprecations-and-migrations#rules-and-hooks-deprecations) plan.

You can still disable, delete or re-enable an existing Rule or Hook. You can also add or remove Rules settings (for updating stored secrets) or Hook secrets but you will no longer be able to modify their script.

If this impacts you, our recommendation is to migrate to Actions. Refer to the following docs for more details:
- [Migrate Rules to Actions](https://auth0.com/docs/customize/actions/migrate/migrate-from-rules-to-actions)
- [Migrate Hooks to Actions](https://auth0.com/docs/customize/actions/migrate/migrate-from-hooks-to-actions) 


Auth0 is excited to announce the following updates to Self-Service SSO:

1. __Custom Introduction Text:__ You can now customize the welcome message on the wizard's landing screen, aligning the experience with your brand’s tone and engaging users right from the start.
2. __PingFederate Support:__ We've expanded our list of supported Identity Providers (IdPs) to include PingFederate, giving you more flexibility in your authentication options.
3. __Revoking SSO Access Tickets:__ Our [new API endpoint](https://auth0.com/docs/api/management/v2/self-service-profiles/post-revoke) lets you revoke SSO access tickets at any time.
4. __Updated Ticket Expiration:__ Access tickets are now consumed only when a connection is created, enabled or edited — like when updating SAML or OIDC details — avoiding issues with scanners opening them prematurely.
5. __Customized Login Experience:__ When creating a [ticket](https://auth0.com/docs/api/management/v2/self-service-profiles/post-sso-ticket), you can now define the login experience — adding optional parameters for Home Realm Discovery, Organization Auto-Membership, and more to tailor every step of the way.

To learn more, see the [Self-Service SSO documentation](https://auth0.com/docs/authenticate/enterprise-connections/self-service-SSO).

Actions now supports the following APIs within the `post-login` trigger.

- `api.samlResponse.setRelayState(relayState)`
- `api.samlResponse.setIssuer(issuer)`

You can see all available API methods supported within the `post-login` trigger along with details on these methods [from this link](https://auth0.com/docs/customize/actions/explore-triggers/signup-and-login-triggers/login-trigger/post-login-api-object).


The possibility to __scope machine-to-machine access to a specific organization is now Generally Available__. This feature allows you to define the organizations that a given application can access for each API via the [Client Credentials Flow](https://auth0.com/docs/get-started/authentication-and-authorization-flow/client-credentials-flow). 

![M2M_for_Orgs_Image](https://cdn.auth0.com/blog/M2M_for_Orgs_changelog.png)

You can easily __define and enforce access to one, many, or all the organizations in your tenant and securely expand the reach of your SaaS APIs__ to more use cases and scenarios, making sure sensitive data and operations are only accessible to authorized parties. After configuring the access rights for your API, you simply have to inspect the `org_id` in access tokens of incoming requests, independently of whether they come from third-party applications or your own applications.

This feature is available for B2B Professional, Enterprise and Enterprise Premium customers.

To learn more, read the [reference documentation](https://auth0.com/docs/manage-users/organizations/organizations-for-m2m-applications).

Auth0 is delighted to launch __Private Performance Burst AWS - 30x (3000 RPS*) and 60x (6000 RPS)__ offerings for Private Cloud deployments on AWS.

These cost-effective Private Performance options scale the Authentication traffic up to 3000 RPS and 6000 RPS respectively for 80 hours a month, and allow usage up to 1500 RPS and 3000 RPS respectively for the remaining duration. 

The elevated transaction capacity comes handy for planned and unplanned traffic spikes, e.g. during product launches, large media events, seasonal activities, and unpredictable usage peaks. 

The Private Performance Burst offering is just another milestone in our commitment to providing the functionality and flexibility our beloved customers need. 

Please refer to [Private Performance Burst documentation page](https://auth0.com/docs/troubleshoot/customer-support/operational-policies/rate-limit-policy#private-performance-burst) for more information.

*RPS: Requests Per Second


The [Okta FGA](https://fga.dev) authorization modeling language allows defining conditions that can be used to express certain ABAC authorization policies. Previously, if you wanted to take advantage of that feature you needed to use the [Okta FGA API](https://docs.fga.dev/api/service) or the [FGA CLI](https://docs.fga.dev/getting-started/cli).

Now, with the [Okta Fine Grained Authorization Dashboard](https://dashboard.fga.dev "Okta FGA Dashboard"), you can create conditional relationship tuples and specify context parameters in assertions, making it easier to fully define ABAC-like conditions directly within the dashboard.

For more details, refer to the  [Okta FGA dashboard documentation](https://docs.fga.dev/intro/dashboard#conditions).


The Google Workspace Enterprise connection now supports an **Extended Group Attribute Format** option. When selected, group memberships are written to the Auth0 user profile as an array of JSON objects containing the group unique ID, group name, and group email address for each group retrieved from Google. 

For more information, see [Connect Your App to Google Workspace](https://auth0.com/docs/authenticate/identity-providers/enterprise-identity-providers/google-apps).

This feature is immediately available in the public cloud and will be rolled out to private cloud environments in the next few weeks as per the release pipeline.

Auth0 is excited to introduce the following updates to Self-Service SSO:

1. Tenant admins now have the ability to choose which IdPs to display when their customers are setting up an SSO profile through the set up wizard, making the entire process more efficient and customizable.  
2. We've added support for Keycloak expanding the available IdPs.
3. When no user attributes exist in the SSO profile, we skip the Claims Mapping instructions in the SSO wizard. 
4. When testing the connection, the JSON has been formatted to show on multiple lines. 

To learn more, see the [Self-Service SSO documentation](https://auth0.com/docs/authenticate/enterprise-connections/self-service-SSO).


In our continuing effort to improve our security posture, Auth0 will no longer retain closed support tickets older than 24 months. Closed support tickets older than 24 months will be deleted on October 16. To view your support tickets, you can navigate to [https://support.auth0.com/tickets](https://support.auth0.com/tickets) . For questions or issues on this change, please reach out to [Support](https://support.auth0.com/).

We’re excited to announce that __Custom Phone Providers__ in is now in __Early Access__.

With this feature, customers can configure custom phone providers and customize phone messages associated with using phone number as an identifier. Using a custom phone provider for MFA and passwordless phone messages is planned for a later release. 

This early access release enables you to:
- Configure your preferred phone provider for phone messages
- Leverage various contexts for using different providers, including organization, client, user, and more

We encourage you to get started with Custom Phone Providers today by checking out our [documentation](https://auth0.com/docs/customize/phone-messages/configure-phone-messaging-providers/configure-a-custom-phone-provider) and if you have any feedback, give us a shout in our [community channel](https://community.auth0.com/)!


Auth0 is delighted to introduce the __United Arab Emirates (UAE)__ as the latest __AWS region for Private Cloud__ deployments. 

We are committed to enhancing our presence in the Middle East. The UAE joins Bahrain as the second AWS region for Auth0 Private Cloud in this part of the world. This expansion opens up new possibilities in the UAE, where Private Cloud deployment is already supported on Azure.


We have introduced __Email OTP Verification__ as a new method for email verification, available in Early Access. Expect to see the feature in your environments within the next 1-4 weeks.

With __Email OTP Verification__, users are required to enter a One-Time Password (OTP) sent to their email during the signup or password reset process. This ensures email verification happens __before__ account creation or password reset is completed, offering enhanced security and reducing the chances of mistyped or fake email accounts.

__Key Highlights:__

- __Synchronous Email Verification:__ Prevents account creation or password reset until users verify their email via OTP.
- __Improved Security:__ Helps prevent fake accounts, ensures accurate email addresses, and discourages phishing through email links.
- __Applicability:__ Available for both email verification during signup and password reset challenges.

__Prerequisites:__

- Must be using __Universal Login__.
- Connection must have __Flexible Identifiers__ enabled.
- Email OTP is only compatible when using the __Identifier First Authentication Profile__.

To enable this feature, navigate to the __Attributes__ tab on any connection and change the __Verification Method__ under the __Email__ attribute settings from __Verification Link__ to __OTP__.

![Email OTP Verification](https://cdn.auth0.com/blog/email_otp_verification.png)

**What’s Changing:**

We are improving the user experience when adding or updating identifiers (email, phone number, or username) in profiles.

**Key Updates:**

1. **New Identifier**: When a new identifier type (email, phone, or username) is added to a user profile where one **does not already exist**, the user’s session **will not be terminated**. This allows for a smoother **progressive profiling** experience, where users can add new identifiers without disruption.  
2. **Changing Existing Identifier**: When an existing identifier is modified, the user’s session **will terminate**, and the user will have to re-authenticate. This ensures security best practices are followed when updating key account information.

**Why This Matters:** Previously, any update to an identifier (whether adding or changing it) would terminate the user’s session. This could lead to a poor experience, especially during progressive profiling, where users are expected to update or add information without being logged out. With this update, customers can offer a seamless experience for users adding new identifiers while maintaining strict security for changes to existing identifiers.

**Rollout Timing:** This change will be rolled out progressively over the next 1-4 weeks. Customers can expect to see the updated session handling behavior in their environments during this period.

**Action Required:** No immediate action is required from customers, but it is recommended to review any user flows that involve the addition or modification of identifiers to ensure they align with this change.

Okta CIC is excited to announce that Universal Login now satisfies out of the box or provide configurability to satisfy the guidelines for the [EN 301 549](https://www.etsi.org/human-factors-accessibility/en-301-549-v3-the-harmonized-european-standard-for-ict-accessibility) standard. We have updated our VPAT to include this information and it is available on [Okta.com](https://www.okta.com/accessibility/). By ensuring that Universal Login is accessible to all users, we enable our customers to confidently secure their applications with accessible authentication. 

See our [online documentation](https://auth0.com/docs/authenticate/login/auth0-universal-login#accessibility) for more details. 

We are happy to announce that we just added two new endpoints to our Session Management APIs:

[POST  /api/v2/users/{id}/revoke-access](https://auth0.com/docs/api/management/v2/users/user-revoke-access) – This endpoint allows you to revoke sessions for a user and decide if you want to revoke the associated Refresh Tokens.

[POST  /api/v2/sessions/{id}/revoke](https://auth0.com/docs/api/management/v2/sessions/revoke-session) – This endpoint will revoke the session and all its related Refresh Tokens.

Please refer to the [Auth0 Management API](https://auth0.com/docs/api/management/v2/introduction) for more information.


Auth0 Actions dashboard experience & documentation has been updated to consolidate around the concept of "Triggers" (as opposed to our previous mix of Flows and Triggers). A trigger represent points in the Auth0 process where Actions can be added.

We believe this change will make it easier for you to identify available customization options (now simply labelled as [triggers](https://auth0.com/docs/customize/actions/explore-triggers)) and how they can be leveraged to personalize your identity needs.

![Actions Triggers](//images.ctfassets.net/kbkgmx9upatd/38P4yCQzOavZSewcUVRTOt/f40c6a6df9e9713449d6a1cf74404419/Screenshot_2024-09-25_at_2.27.21_PM.png)

*Please note that this change does not have any impact on the current functional behaviour of Actions within Auht0.*

Continuous Session Protection is now generally available for enterprise customers, providing powerful tools to dynamically manage Sessions and Refresh Tokens within Auth0 Actions. This feature offers flexible options to configure expiration settings, access additional session and token data, and revoke sessions when necessary, enhancing security and control.

Key benefits of Continuous Session Protection include:

- Dynamic Session and Token Expiration: Configure custom absolute and idle timeouts for Sessions and Refresh Tokens using the new setExpiresAt(Date) and setIdleExpiresAt(Date) methods. These settings can be applied across users, organizations, or specific connections to meet your security and compliance needs.
- Enhanced Security with Revocation: Revoke Sessions and Refresh Tokens programmatically using Actions, based on custom logic or risk assessments. This allows you to take immediate action when suspicious behavior is detected or when tokens no longer meet your security policies.
- Comprehensive Session and Token Insights: Access additional session and refresh token attributes within Actions, enabling you to make more informed, data-driven decisions for managing user sessions.
- These features allow enterprise customers to dynamically improve their security posture by customizing session behavior, enforcing shorter expiration times for high-risk roles (such as administrators), and revoking tokens when necessary to mitigate risks.

**Passwordless Connection Support**

Universal Login now supports customizing the passwordless signup and login authentication flows, allowing customers to address their unique data capture, security, and compliance requirements when users authenticate with email and SMS one-time passwords. 

See our [online documentation](https://auth0.com/docs/customize/login-pages/universal-login/customize-signup-and-login-prompts) for more information, instructions and examples.

**Dev Tooling support for the Partials API**

Auth0’s CI/CD tooling (Auth0 CLI, Deploy CLI, Terraform Provider) now fully supports the Partial API including the new Passwordless prompts. As a bonus, Partials can now also be edited using Auth0 CLI’s UL Customize interface. Run `auth0 ul customize` in your terminal to see it in action. To access these new capabilities, upgrade to the latest versions of Auth0 CLI, Deploy CLI, and Terraform Provider.

![Auth0 CLI - Partials API Support](//images.ctfassets.net/kbkgmx9upatd/4aJB7oZYi1eXnqa8QBXURf/b9fc528de063fc07efdf405204ffba68/Screenshot_2024-09-17_at_10.53.42_AM.png)

You are now able to individually test a [Custom Database script](https://auth0.com/docs/authenticate/database-connections/custom-db) for a specific Node runtime version. 

![Test specific runtime version for Custom DB scripts](//images.ctfassets.net/kbkgmx9upatd/67AkIp89UvIo7HkA0sVDO8/a6f5781992d0336c6471ba0e0db65fbe/Screenshot_2024-09-09_at_2.25.32_PM.png)

This will help to validate script changes against a target runtime version before you modify the default global tenant configuration for [Extensibility runtime](https://auth0.com/docs/get-started/tenant-settings#extensibility).

You can read more about how to use this feature [in our documentation](https://auth0.com/docs/authenticate/database-connections/custom-db/custom-database-connections-scripts/environment#testing-a-specific-runtime-version).

We’re excited to announce that support for [Okta Universal Logout](https://help.okta.com/oie/en-us/content/topics/itp/universal-logout.htm) in Okta Customer Identity Cloud is now in Limited Early Access!

Okta Universal Logout is based on the [Global Token Revocation](https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-parecki-oauth-global-token-revocation-02.html) specification and allows security incident management tools [Okta Identity Threat Protection](https://www.okta.com/products/identity-threat-protection/) to send back-channel requests to revoke application users' sessions and refresh tokens when they identify a change in risk.

With this feature, customers who use [Okta Workforce Connections](https://auth0.com/docs/authenticate/identity-providers/enterprise-identity-providers/okta) in Auth0 no longer need to build their own Global Token Revocation endpoints to support Universal Logout. Simply enable it for your Okta Workforce connection and provide the endpoint URL to the Okta Workforce administrator. 

To enable the Limited Early Access release in your Auth0 tenant, please contact your Technical Account Manager to request access.

We’re excited to announce that Forms is now generally available in Okta Customer Identity Cloud!

This new feature allows you to extend your login and signup flows with additional steps and business logic.

![Forms GA - Preview](//images.ctfassets.net/kbkgmx9upatd/6kZjPUb5ZyeLU8TMcA9u5q/34372ae2940652ee7e599e32db3e9863/forms-ga-overview.png)

What's new:

Within the Security Center Dashboard offering, customers can now set [metric thresholds](https://auth0.com/docs/secure/security-center/security-alerts). This new feature provides Enterprise customers with an enhanced proactive capability around the various Security Center monitors they track. Customers can now configure thresholds on security threat metrics and monitor when threats exceed the acceptable value. 
The feature is available in all Public cloud environments and rolling out to Private spaces throughout the next few weeks.


We are excited to announce that our Bot Detection feature has been upgraded with a new machine learning model specifically designed to detect and prevent signup attacks. This enhancement integrates advanced ML capabilities into our proprietary Bot Detection system, significantly improving the identification of fraudulent account creation attempts.

This feature is currently available in the New Universal Login experience, providing added security for customers utilizing our latest UI. For customers using the Classic Login or custom UI, we are evaluating options to extend these capabilities in the future.

As always, to activate Bot Detection or if you require more detailed information, please visit our [online documentation](https://auth0.com/docs/secure/attack-protection/bot-detection) or contact your account team. We are here to assist you in ensuring your systems remain secure against evolving threats.

Introducing a new capability within the Security Center Dashboard offering - [__Security Center Thresholds__](https://auth0.com/docs/secure/security-center/security-alerts) Early Access. This new feature provides Enterprise customers with an enhanced proactive capability around the various Security Center monitors they track. Customers can now configure thresholds on security threat metrics and monitor when threats exceed the acceptable value. The feature is available in all Public cloud spaces and will roll out to private spaces with the General Availability announcement.

Okta FGA has now two deployment options: public cloud and private cloud. The public cloud option is a multi-tenant SaaS service available in three geographies: the United States, Europe, and Australia, offering a highly available multi-region deployment. The private cloud option, on the other hand, is tailored for enterprises seeking dedicated resources. Okta FGA Private Cloud leverages the same architecture principles that have been battle-tested with Auth0 for over two years.

Private Cloud for Okta FGA has the following benefits:

- Higher RPS: Private cloud instances are optimized for high request-per-second (RPS) performance, scaling up to five times the average RPS based on your application’s needs. 
- High Availability: Okta FGA for Private Cloud is always deployed in two AWS regions with active-active data replication, minimizing the chances of being impacted by an AWS region outage.
- Data Residency and Compliance: Deploy your Private Cloud environment in any AWS region to meet specific data residency and compliance requirements. Initial regions include the US, Germany, Ireland, UK, France, Japan, India, Singapore, Australia, and Brazil.
- Reduced Latency: Choose the AWS region closest to your application servers, which will significantly reduce latency for faster access control checks.
- Multi-Geography Deployments: Businesses can replicate the same authorization data across multiple regions worldwide, allowing them to maintain low-latency authorization services even for globally distributed applications. For example, a company can have the same data in the US, EU, and Australia, have their authorization data replicated across all regions, and have their applications routed to the closest region.
- Automated, Hardened Release: Benefit from automated weekly releases that are previously validated in Okta’s public cloud deployments.
- Centralized Management: Customers can manage both private and public cloud instances seamlessly from the Okta FGA dashboard.

__[Prioritized Log Streams](https://auth0.com/docs/secure/security-center/prioritized-log-streams)__ is now Generally Available (GA) 

Now, Enterprise customers can stream a predefined set of security risk-related log events through a dedicated architecture with higher confidence. Customers can stream events to SIEM tools, monitor, and take action on Security events without interruption when there is an attack on the customer’s tenant or abnormally high user activity.

The feature is available in all Public cloud environments and rolling out to Private spaces throughout the next few weeks.


We are pleased to announce that developers using Okta FGA now have a way to specify their required consistency level when querying Okta FGA.

To minimize latency, Okta FGA uses two levels of caching that can result on permissions changes not being reflected in authorization queries for up to 20 seconds. 

All query APIs (Check, Read, ListObjects, ListUsers, Expand) now have an additional optional parameter with two possible values:

- __MINIMIZE_LATENCY__ (default): Okta FGA will try to minimize latency (e.g. by making use of the cache)
- __HIGHER_CONSISTENCY__: Okta FGA  will try to optimize for stronger consistency (e.g. by bypassing cache)

When using HIGHER_CONSISTENCY, latency will be higher as Okta FGA will ready directly from the database. Developers need to make the trade off between consistency and latency depending on the use case.

All SDKs were updated with support for the new parameter.

You can learn more in the [Okta FGA documentation](http://docs.fga.dev/writing-data/consistency-modes).

Following on the objective to improve the capabilities to dynamically manage Sessions and Refresh Tokens, we are happy to announce that we have added new methods to control the expiration of Sessions and Refresh Tokens using Actions.

Now you can control the absolute and inactivity timeouts with the new `setExpiresAt(Date)` and `setIdleExpireAt(Date)` methods, available for post-login Action objects `api.session` and `api.refresh_token`.

They can be used in different use cases, for example, you can improve your security posture by enforcing shorter expiration times for administrators, specific Connections or Organizations.

To learn more, read our public docs: [Sessions with Actions](https://auth0.com/docs/manage-users/sessions/manage-sessions-actions) and [Refresh Tokens with Actions](https://auth0.com/docs/secure/tokens/refresh-tokens/manage-refresh-tokens-actions).

They are now available in Private Early Access. If you are an Enterprise customer, please reach out to your Technical Account Manager (TAM) to request access.

Introducing a new Log Stream and Security capability, __[Prioritized Log Streams](https://auth0.com/docs/secure/security-center/prioritized-log-streams)__. 

Now, Enterprise customers can stream a predefined set of security risk-related log events through a dedicated architecture with higher confidence. Customers can stream events to SIEM tools, monitor, and take action on Security events without interruption when there is an attack on the customer’s tenant or abnormally high user activity.

This feature is rolling out to public cloud spaces throughout the next couple of weeks


The [Auth0 Changelog](https://auth0.com/changelog) now contains Release Version Numbers where applicable! 

Now, Private Cloud customers can view & filter for a specific version within the Changelog directly. Additionally, Private Cloud customers can view an environment's current version and next version from within the [Auth0 Support Center](https://support.auth0.com/) on the 'Private Instances' page and link directly to any feature releases in the Changelog that may be applicable to that version number.

Public Cloud customers are not impacted by this change and should continue to use the Auth0 Changelog as they normally do.

Have you ever wondered, as a user of the Auth0 platform, how many active sessions you have for the different Auth0 dashboard applications across your multiple devices?
Introducing Auth0 Dashboard Login Session Management, allowing Auth0 Dashboard admins to not only view all active dashboard sessions but also the ability to revoke them. This beta feature provides an added layer of security to session idle timeout for our Public Cloud customers.
![Login Sessions Dashboard View](//images.ctfassets.net/kbkgmx9upatd/1lC20R7UkGWYPz43oTXa6y/b6dd5a3d1e0bbd76093aad45377859bf/Session_Management.png)

#### What has changed?
We have deprecated the "Support Access" Role so that the only tenant member role that now has access to the [“Subscription Tickets”](https://auth0.com/docs/troubleshoot/customer-support/open-and-manage-support-tickets#manage-subscription-tickets-) feature within the Auth0 Support Center are those with the new [Elevated Support Access role](https://auth0.com/docs/get-started/manage-dashboard-access/feature-access-by-role) within the [Role Based Access Control (RBAC)](https://auth0.com/docs/get-started/manage-dashboard-access/add-dashboard-users) feature in the Auth0 Management Dashboard. The Subscription Tickets feature in [Support Center](https://support.auth0.com/) allows access to view and manage **all tickets created by all users across a tenant. The current ‘Support Access’ role is now deprecated.**

Tenant Administrators do not automatically inherit the new ‘Elevated Support Access’ role and will need to explicitly add themselves to the role via the Auth0 Management Dashboard to continue to have access to view and manage all tickets across their tenant(s) via the Subscription Tickets feature. **Tenant Administrators and all tenant members will still have access to the Auth0 Support Center to create and manage *their own tickets* without adding any additional roles.** 

#### Why did we make this change?
In order to increase the security of the Auth0 Support Center, the ‘Subscription Tickets’ feature will be tied specifically to the new **Elevated Support Access** role so that access is not automatically inherited by all Tenant Admin users. This prevents roles from being able to see tickets they did not create without explicitly granting them access to do so. 

#### How are you affected?
Tenant Administrators no longer have access to view and manage **all tickets** for your tenant on the ‘Subscription Tickets’ page in the Auth0 Support Center __unless__ the Elevated Support Access role is added to their user. **You will still be able to access the Auth0 Support Center and create & manage the support tickets you created.**

#### What action do you need to take?
If you have a paid subscription, you can add yourself and any other users who need to see/manage all tickets (even those they did not create) across the tenant to the new **Elevated Support Access** role from the Auth0 Management Dashboard. __You should also review who__ __currently has the legacy ‘Support Access’ role assigned and determine if they should be removed and/or added to have the new Elevated Support Access role.__

If you are currently on a Free plan, there is no action required and this communication is to inform you that you will only be able to view and manage support tickets that you created.

#### How can you get additional assistance?
We are here to help. Contact us by using the [Auth0 by Okta Support Center.](https://support.auth0.com/)


The Log Stream filters have been updated with a new filter category. This category complements the [SCIM GA announcement](https://auth0.com/changelog#3iRVwR6TAFeSJhqIYwIWK2) and streams out only SCIM tenant logs when SCIM is enabled on the tenant. Through this capability, customers can monitor the full details of all the SCIM requests that Auth0 receives and get notified when a user is created, updated, or deleted using SCIM.

This feature is immediately available in the public cloud and will be rolled out to private cloud environments in the next few weeks as per the release pipeline.
