Features

The authentication lifecycle, covered

Use only the flows your product needs today, with room to add the rest as it grows.

Account registration

Create a user inside the correct auth app using an email address and password supplied by that user.

Email verification

Confirm that a new user controls the email address attached to the account before relying on it.

Sign-in and sessions

Authenticate returning users, issue application sessions, and refresh access without asking them to sign in again unnecessarily.

Password recovery

Let a user request a password reset and complete the recovery flow from a time-limited account email.

App-level isolation

Keep user records and authentication configuration separated by account and auth app ID.

Authentication activity

Maintain a useful history of registration, verification, sign-in, logout, and recovery events.

Responsible email

Account email people expect to receive

Instant Auth uses email only to complete or protect an account action. Messages are sent one-to-one to the address a person provides while using a connected application.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers about the product and its email use.

What is Instant Auth?

Instant Auth is an authentication API for web applications. It provides account registration, email verification, sign-in, password recovery, session, and authentication-activity capabilities through an app-specific configuration.

Who receives email from Instant Auth?

Only people whose address was entered during an account flow in a connected application. Email is triggered by actions such as registering, requesting verification, requesting a sign-in link, or resetting a password.

Does Instant Auth send marketing email?

No. Instant Auth email is reserved for transactional authentication and account-security messages. It is not used for advertising, newsletters, lead generation, or bulk outreach.

How are bounces and complaints handled?

Delivery feedback is monitored, and addresses associated with hard bounces or spam complaints are suppressed from additional sends. Repeated or unusual delivery problems are investigated.

Can one account support more than one application?

Yes. Each application receives its own auth app ID and domain configuration so its users and authentication activity remain appropriately scoped.

How much does it cost?

Instant Auth is available through Instant Suite. Sign in to view the access and product options currently available for your account.
