About this episode
This episode explores Logto, an open-source identity and access management platform, and its approach to modern authentication challenges.
In this episode, we take a deep dive into Logto, an open-source identity and access management platform built to help developers and organizations regain control over one of the most critical layers of modern software: authentication. Starting with the frustration and risk of relying on expensive proprietary login systems from vendors like Auth0, Microsoft, or Google, we explore why authentication is so notoriously difficult to build correctly, and how Logto packages complex protocols like OpenID Connect and OAuth 2.1 into a far more accessible foundation for both startups and enterprise teams. Along the way, we unpack how Logto handles modern identity challenges, from passwordless login, social sign-in, multi-tenancy, enterprise single sign-on, and role-based access control to machine-to-machine authentication for AI agents and automated services. We also look at the deeper security architecture behind the platform, including Argon2 password hashing, passkeys, SOC 2 Type II compliance, open-source transparency, and regional data isolation for sovereignty and compliance. More than a technical walkthrough, this episode is about digital identity, infrastructure ownership, and what…
