Have you heard of https://fusionauth.io/ ? I'm not a user of the product, but I know some of the folks behind it. Might be time for them to shine here.

Thanks for the mention. We already do see quite a few Auth0 converts. I expect to gain a lot of new customers as a result of this merger in the coming months. No complaints here.

FusionAuth looks quite interesting. I'd like to see a comparison with AzureActiveDirectoy as well as in my last company we ended up sticking with it instead of migrating to auth0/octa/servicenow. Especially because Developer self-service works very well there. I couldn't find any details about this on your website.

Hey Dan, curious: why it's so difficult to figure out who is behind the company from the website?

Hiya,

I can't speak for robotdan, but am also an employee.

My opinion: we have been so busy heads down building things we haven't put together an about us page.

https://www.linkedin.com/company/fusionauth/ is pretty transparent about who works there, though.

HTH.

We are working on that. Our new website will include a ton of information about the company, our executive team, and our culture. Stay tuned!

You can check out my LI profile for now though ;)

I'm curious why that matters?

Part of that curiosity is because the answers so far talk about 'About'pages and similar.

What's the added benefit/trust you are looking for here?

Apologies if my question is naïve.

To me, the about us page is one of the more difficult things to fake and can at least tell you whether the company is brand new or maybe owned by a big company or just a recent startup.

I have found out quite a few scams by looking at the about us page and researching the names on the page. Most everyone working in tech had some kind of digital trail that would take a lot of effort to fake.

If I get taken for a ride, I want to at least know who is going the driving.

100% agreed on this. Also: because reputations matter.

I thought about that quite a bit before I posted this. "why do you care??"

The answer was still just the same: I'm curious who is working on this.

So I guess pretty much just curiosity for me.

To add to this... not trying to hide anything on purpose. :-) https://github.com/robotdan https://www.linkedin.com/in/robotdan/

+1 - I set up a FusionAuth instance to do a tutorial for them and it was a great experience.

We wrote a little blog post congratulating Okta and Auth0 on the acquisition:
