Show HN: Open-Source Auth for NextJS / React

Pretty cool. Just a heads up, the links in the section: "build your own login, registration, account settings, account verification (e.g. email, phone, activate account), account verification (e.g. reset password) user interfaces and user flows using dead-simple APIs" all are broken, except the 'login' link.

I'm interested in how you allow folks to customize the login flows (probably because my employer, FusionAuth, offers a competitive product :) ). Is this UX customization solely through custom react components?

Is there any ability to customize the actual login sequence, like Azure ADB2C allows? For example: for install A, I want to ask for login, then password, then MFA. for install B, I want to ask for email domain first, then login and password.

Thank you! We've updated the links and they should work in a few minutes :)

All of Ory's Open Source software is unique in a way that we strictly follow domain-driven design. Solve one problem only, but solve it extremely well, and solve it in isolation. Ory Kratos (and other Ory Projects) are API only. The UI is up to you. You can use Ory for CLIs, fridges, TVs, native mobile apps, Java Server Pages, and React apps.

So, you're also free to choose the UX for your users with a very high degree of freedom - something we found very frustrating before we started working on Ory. Of course, there are some limitations (as always in software) but we try to focus them around security and not how we interpret that sign up flows should look like.

For those who just want something to work, we have templates one can use to get off the ground in a few minutes!
