Identity platform
The identity platform for every app.
Sign-up, login, passkeys, MFA, magic links, SSO, consent screens, and account recovery in one platform. Live in an afternoon, not a procurement cycle.
Why switch
Towly vs the identity vendors
The same standards-based identity your apps need, without the enterprise sales cycle, the SSO tax, or the per-feature upsells.

Honest comparisonComparisons describe typical identity vendor packaging as generally understood in the market. Check each vendor's current terms before you decide.
Platform
Everything identity, one platform
One identity provider for every workload. Your users sign in once. Your apps ask Towly who they are and what they may do.
Identities
The full user lifecycle: registration, profiles, email verification, account recovery, and self-service settings, over API or in the console.
Passkeys
Phishing-resistant WebAuthn sign-in with Face ID, Touch ID, or Windows Hello. No password to steal, included on every plan.
MFA
TOTP authenticator codes with step-up when it matters. Sessions carry their assurance level from AAL1 to AAL2.
Magic links
Fully passwordless sign-in and verification with one-time email codes. Nothing to remember, nothing to reuse.
OAuth2 / OIDC apps
Register OAuth clients, run the standard authorize and token flows, and verify sessions from any stack. No proprietary SDK.
Audit logs
Every authentication and authorization event recorded with a verifiable trail, ready for your compliance reviews.
Five live login methods: password, passkey, TOTP, email code, and recovery codes. Roadmap: social login
Sign-in methods
Feel the ways users sign in
Pick a method and walk through a short illustration of how it feels for your users.
Welcome back
Sign in with your passkey. No password to type, nothing to phish.
Sign in with email
We email you a one-time link. Click it and you are in.
Two-step verification
Enter the 6-digit code from your authenticator app. Any 6 digits work in this demo.
Sign in with SSO
Enter your work email and we route you to your company's identity provider.
DemoIllustrative only. These run entirely in your browser: nothing is sent, no one is signed in, and no real authentication happens.
Developers
Integrate in an afternoon
No SDK required. Towly speaks plain OAuth 2.0 and HTTPS, so any stack can integrate with fetch.
# 1. Send users to Towly to sign in (open in the browser) open "https://api.towly.ai/oauth2/auth"?client_id=YOUR_CLIENT_ID&redirect_uri=https://yourapp.com/callback&response_type=code&scope=openid%20profile%20email # 2. Exchange the code for tokens (server side, never in the browser) curl -X POST https://api.towly.ai/oauth2/token \ -d grant_type=authorization_code \ -d code=$CODE \ -d redirect_uri=https://yourapp.com/callback \ -d client_id=YOUR_CLIENT_ID \ -d client_secret=YOUR_SECRET # 3. Verify the session on every request curl https://auth.towly.ai/sessions/whoami \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS_TOKEN"
// 1. Send users to Towly to sign in const authorizeUrl = "https://api.towly.ai/oauth2/auth" + "?client_id=YOUR_CLIENT_ID" + "&redirect_uri=https://yourapp.com/callback" + "&response_type=code&scope=openid+profile+email"; window.location = authorizeUrl; // 2. Exchange the code for tokens (server side, never in the browser) const tokens = await fetch("https://api.towly.ai/oauth2/token", { method: "POST", body: new URLSearchParams({ grant_type: "authorization_code", code, redirect_uri: "https://yourapp.com/callback", client_id: "YOUR_CLIENT_ID", client_secret: "YOUR_SECRET", }), }).then(r => r.json()); // 3. Verify the session on every request const session = await fetch("https://auth.towly.ai/sessions/whoami", { headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${tokens.access_token}` }, }).then(r => r.json());
import requests AUTH = "https://api.towly.ai/oauth2" # 1.

How is Towly different from Okta or Auth0?
Towly is a developer-first identity platform and a direct alternative to Okta, Auth0 by Okta, and the other identity vendors. You get the same standards-based building blocks, sign-up, login, passkeys, MFA, SSO, consent, and audit, with published pricing, no sales cycle, and no per-feature upsells. Migration is straightforward because Towly speaks plain OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect.
Where does my user data live?
On infrastructure we operate ourselves. Your user data is never sold, never shared with advertisers, and never used to train models.
How much does it cost?
Plans start at $99 per month with annual options that save 2 months. Every plan includes passkeys, MFA, and passwordless login. See pricing for the full breakdown.
Do you support social login?
Not yet. Social sign-in with Google, GitHub, and Microsoft is on the roadmap. Today you get password, passkeys, TOTP, email codes, and recovery codes.
Do you publish an SLA?
No. We do not publish uptime SLAs or compliance certifications yet. If your procurement needs them, talk to us and we will be straight about where we stand.
Can I migrate from another provider?
Yes. Towly speaks standard OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect, so your apps keep working while users move over. Talk to us about your current setup and we will plan the cutover.
Can AI agents use Towly?
Yes. Agents get scoped OAuth 2.0 credentials, and an MCP server lets identity-aware automation verify users and check permissions.
