The Challenge

Maxroll faced the challenge of finding a authentication solution that was cost-effective to support a large user base and put the user experience first, while providing robust security features.

When it came to selecting a new long-term identity provider for Maxroll, Ory stood out from the rest. The Maxroll team was impressed by Ory’s commitment to putting the needs of customers first and the collaborative spirit of the Ory developer community.

With Ory implementing multi-factor authentication was just matter of ticking a checkbox and then all our users had the option to use TOTP and WebAuthn. It just worked like that - whereas at other providers you get charged a premium for basic security features like MFA.
