// Migrate in 4 steps
01
Export users from Auth0

Use Auth0's Management API to export your user database including hashed passwords.

02
Import to Zyphr

Bulk import users with bcrypt-hashed passwords. Users keep their existing credentials.

03
Configure OAuth providers

Set up Google, Apple, Facebook, GitHub, and Microsoft in the Zyphr dashboard. Same client IDs work.

04
Swap the SDK

Replace Auth0's SDK calls with Zyphr's auth API. Similar patterns, fewer lines of code.

// Frequently asked questions
How does Zyphr auth compare to Auth0 in features?

For the vast majority of applications, Zyphr matches Auth0 feature-for-feature: passkeys/WebAuthn, social sign-in across Google, Apple, Facebook, GitHub and Microsoft, magic links, email and SMS OTP, TOTP MFA with backup codes, organizations with roles and org switching, session revocation, RS256 tokens with a public JWKS, breached-password detection, and account lockout. Zyphr additionally offers anonymous auth with account conversion and native Game Center / Play Games sign-in, which Auth0 does not. The one real gap is enterprise SSO — see below.

What can Auth0 do that Zyphr cannot?

Enterprise SSO. Auth0 supports SAML, AD/LDAP connections, and SCIM provisioning; Zyphr does not yet. If you are selling to enterprises that require "log in with our Okta/Azure AD tenant," Auth0 covers that today and we do not. For consumer apps, SaaS products, mobile apps, and games, Zyphr covers the full surface.

Does Zyphr support passkeys?

Yes — full FIDO2/WebAuthn, including registration and authentication ceremonies, credential listing, renaming and deletion, and per-user status. Passkeys are a primary sign-in method, not an upsell.

Is auth gated behind a higher plan like it is with Auth0?

No. Every auth capability is available on every plan, including Free. Auth0 gates MFA, organizations, and advanced security behind paid and enterprise tiers. With Zyphr you get 1,000 MAU free with the complete feature set.

Can I keep using Auth0 and add Zyphr for email?

You can, but you give up the main benefit: auth-triggered messaging. With Zyphr, registration sends the verification email, password resets send reset links, and security events fire webhooks — no glue code and no second vendor. You would also still be paying Auth0 MAU pricing for auth Zyphr already includes.

How does pricing compare?

Auth0 pricing rises steeply with MAU, especially above 10,000 users, and charges extra for organizations and advanced security. Zyphr's Scale plan supports 100,000 MAU for $249/month with every auth feature included — plus email, push, and webhooks in the same bill.

How hard is the migration?

Straightforward. Export your users from Auth0's Management API, bulk import them into Zyphr with their bcrypt hashes so nobody has to reset a password, reuse your existing OAuth client IDs, and swap the SDK calls. We have migration guides for Auth0, Firebase Auth, and Cognito.
