Case Study: Desktop.com achieves on-time launch and secure, scalable authentication with Auth0

How Desktop.com Got to Market On Time With Auth0

Desktop.com is a remote work collaboration platform and digital life organizer that helps teams manage web-based resources and collaborate online. Facing the COVID-driven surge in remote work, the Europe-based startup needed a GDPR-compliant identity solution with improved login flows and MFA before its March 2021 launch, but didn’t want to spend hundreds of development hours building authentication in-house.

Desktop.com chose Auth0, worked through a three-day discovery workshop with Auth0 support, and implemented username/password, social logins (Google, Apple, Microsoft), SSO and MFA. The integration saved significant development time, let engineers focus on product features, enabled an on-time launch, and delivered scalable, enterprise-grade authentication and compliance that secures users as the platform grows.
