Ways to sign in

Every login method your subscribers expect

Offer the sign-in options that convert — from password to one-click social — all on one identity layer.

Password login

Classic email and password with secure forgot/reset flows from the platform or the API.

Passwordless magic link

Email the subscriber a secure link that issues a JWT session. Set link validity to 1, 30, 60, or 90 days.

Google & One Tap

Google OAuth 2.0 sign-in, plus Google One Tap's one-click prompt for visitors with an active Google session.

Facebook login

Social sign-in through your Facebook developer app, with profile data saved to customer metadata.

Auth0

Use Auth0 as your identity provider for a regular web application, configured with client ID, domain, and callbacks.

Customer SSO

Subscribers log in once to access multiple branded services, with the session shared across your domains.

Access control

Authentication that decides who gets in

Authorize access to protected content

Pelcro's Authorization layer checks whether a signed-in user can reach protected content or APIs — so only entitled subscribers get through.

One identity across web and mobile

A single authenticated identity follows the subscriber across your properties, with the session validated on every request.

Fewer password resets, less friction

Passwordless and social sign-in cut login friction and the password-reset requests that drive support volume.

Account security

Security built into every session

Single User Authentication

Keep one active session per customer. Logging in on a new device invalidates older sessions, so stale logins can't linger on shared machines.

Unique customer identity

Each email is unique per account, so duplicate registrations are rejected and one subscriber maps to one record across your sites.

Modern hashing & secure tokens

Credentials are protected with modern hashing and sessions use JSON Web Tokens — treated as sensitive credentials and passed only over HTTPS.

For developers

A universal auth layer you integrate in hours

JWT sessions, read from the SDK

Every session is a JSON Web Token. The SDK stores the auth_token in an obfuscated cookie and preserves session state automatically across Elements.

Identity & Authorization recipes

Drop-in JavaScript SDK recipes cover login, registration, and password flows, plus access checks on protected content and APIs.

APIs & real-time webhooks

Login, Passwordless, and Customer APIs integrate auth across web and mobile, while webhooks like customer.passwordless_login_request sync events to your CRM and ESP.

For the end-user

One secure account subscribers actually enjoy using

Secure client portal access

Subscribers sign in to a personal portal to manage subscriptions, billing details, and account information, with their identity protected throughout.

One account across services

With Customer SSO, a single login carries across your branded services — subscriptions, profile, and preferences all in one place.

Fast, low-friction sign-up

Streamlined registration — social or magic link — gets new subscribers through onboarding without a password wall.
