Securing React Apps — From Login to SSO 🔐
Harsha Thirimanna
This session is dedicated to tackling the challenges of building secure and efficient login mechanisms in modern React applications. Harsha will walk us through everything from foundational authentication flows to advanced setups like SSO, MFA, and social logins — all using the Asgardeo React SDK for OpenID Connect (OIDC) compliance and best-practice security.
Key Highlights:
- Overcoming common React auth pitfalls
- Implementing basic + advanced authentication (SSO, MFA, social login)
- Building secure flows with Asgardeo React SDK
- Hands-on demo: integrating React apps with external identity providers
If you’ve ever struggled with tokens, redirects, or login flows, this one’s for you.
