![\"TailwindCSS](\"/f9f7213831dbd7161f16486cc61ee481/tailwind-css-vs-bootstrap-comparison.webp\")
Web design and CSS have come a long way. And today, modern websites have everything you could wish for alongside stunning designs. Then why should your website's login and signup forms look boring?
\nThe web ecosystem has tons of reliable third-party libraries and frameworks to help you build intuitive designs even if you're not a design wizard. Amidst the plethora of libraries comes a utility first CSS framework called Tailwind CSS.
\nSo in this post, you'll learn:
\nI'll then walk you through step by step how to use it to create a modern login and signup form with routing in React.
\nFinally, you'll see how to make these forms functional using LoginRadius Authentication APIs docs/references/api/authentication).
\nIf you've heard of Materialize and Bootstrap, Tailwind CSS is much similar in what it offers. It's a CSS framework that helps developers build layouts, components, themes, and whatnot, without writing all the CSS themselves.
\nHowever, unlike Bootstrap and Materialize, it doesn't give you built-in components out of the box. Instead, it gives you a wide range of fully customizable utility classes that you can use to style your pages.
\n
The community loves Tailwind. For most developers, the key takeaway is that it gives you more freedom on how you want your components or elements to look. So in many cases, when developers use component-based CSS frameworks like Bootstrap, they have a hard time changing the way they want their website to look.
\nBeing utility first, it's the most customization-friendly CSS framework!
\nAlso, it's pretty easy to integrate with modern frontend frameworks like React, NextJS, VueJS, Angular, Svelte, etc. I'll also explore that shortly when we add Tailwind to our React app.
\n![\"TailwindCSS](\"/06fb23108bb51f0605cc8bc50854aaf3/tailwind-css-pros.webp\")
On the downside, Tailwind might make your HTML bloated with loads of CSS classes for small and specific rules. However, you can control it with a framework like React by building smaller reusable components and using JSX bindings for long class names for more maintainability and readability.
\nIn fact, we'll take this optimal approach in building our Login form, so you'll understand some best practices you can use to avoid bloated HTML templates in your React app.
\nWe'll create a simple yet modern looking login and signup form that looks like this:
\n\nIt will be interactive using React state, can route to different pages, and we'll also, in the end, talk about how we can make it functional from a backend standpoint.
\nSounds good? Let's start by understanding how we can add TailwindCSS to our React app.
\nInside a directory of your choice, create a new React project by running:
\nnpx create-react-app react-tailwind-appNext, move inside the project and install react-router-dom by running:
\ncd create-react-app react-tailwind-app && npm i react-router-domNow, add Tailwind to your React project by following the steps given here.
\nFirst, install Tailwind CSS and its related dependencies by running the following command in the root directory:
\nnpm install -D tailwindcss postcss autoprefixerNext, generate some configurational files by running the following command in the root directory:
\nnpx tailwindcss init -pThat should generate a tailwind.config.js file and postcss.config.js file for you as shown:
![\"tailwind](\"/606f738075adcdf49ea31c6d70e2e6e7/tailwind-config-files.webp\")
Awesome!
\nNow, go ahead and update the tailwind.config.js file to support templates for your React component files as shown:
module.exports = {\n content: [\n "./src/**/*.{js,jsx,ts,tsx}",\n ],\n theme: {\n extend: {},\n },\n plugins: [],\n}Almost there! We'll now add some necessary Tailwind directives to your index.css file present in the root directory:
@tailwind base;\n@tailwind components;\n@tailwind utilities;\n\n...Each of the above directives represents a layer of Tailwind's utility classes that you can use in your project. Their declaration allows using these utility classes anywhere in your project.
\nFinally, we'll kickstart your React project by spinning a local development server:
\nnpm startYou're now ready to start using Tailwind CSS to create some awesome-looking UI for your React app!
\nWe'll break down the entire page into small, reusable components to ensure that your code is readable and maintainable and doesn't have bloated HTML templates.
\nFor instance, you can have a <Header/> component that takes care of the page's heading and displays a link to navigate to another page.
Similarly, you can have a reusable custom <Input/> component that can be used inside the form. All in all, here's what your frontend architecture would look like:
![\"Login](\"/5495329b3eef5ec974da7e1b8fc0ebc2/login-page-architecture-hierarchy.webp\")
So first, let's go ahead and create these files and folders. You'll develop corresponding files for the Signup page as well. Create the following files and folders inside your root directory:
\n.\n├── components/\n│ ├── FormAction.js\n│ ├── FormExtra.js\n│ ├── Header.js\n│ ├── Input.js\n│ ├── Login.js\n│ └── Signup.js\n├── constants/\n│ └── formFields.js\n└── pages/\n ├── Login.js\n └── Signup.jsFor perspective, here's how we'll use those components to build your entire Login Page:
\n![\"Login](\"/910ca40300f36ac91bbeb3dd6ad91548/login-page-architecture.webp\")
Makes sense? Great!
\nWhile we're at it, let's also create some component boilerplate for all these files except the /src/constants/formFields.js.
For the Login.js files (/src/pages/Login.js), you can put down the following code:
export default function LoginPage(){\n return(\n <>\n \n </>\n )\n}Similarly, you can create such boilerplates for the rest of the files.
\nYou've created a formFields.js file earlier. This file will hold all the input fields related constants like placeholder, value, name, field type, etc. Inside this file, add the following code:
const loginFields=[\n {\n labelText:"Email address",\n labelFor:"email-address",\n id:"email-address",\n name:"email",\n type:"email",\n autoComplete:"email",\n isRequired:true,\n placeholder:"Email address" \n },\n {\n labelText:"Password",\n labelFor:"password",\n id:"password",\n name:"password",\n type:"password",\n autoComplete:"current-password",\n isRequired:true,\n placeholder:"Password" \n }\n]\n\nconst signupFields=[\n {\n labelText:"Username",\n labelFor:"username",\n id:"username",\n name:"username",\n type:"text",\n autoComplete:"username",\n isRequired:true,\n placeholder:"Username" \n },\n {\n labelText:"Email address",\n labelFor:"email-address",\n id:"email-address",\n name:"email",\n type:"email",\n autoComplete:"email",\n isRequired:true,\n placeholder:"Email address" \n },\n {\n labelText:"Password",\n labelFor:"password",\n id:"password",\n name:"password",\n type:"password",\n autoComplete:"current-password",\n isRequired:true,\n placeholder:"Password" \n },\n {\n labelText:"Confirm Password",\n labelFor:"confirm-password",\n id:"confirm-password",\n name:"confirm-password",\n type:"password",\n autoComplete:"confirm-password",\n isRequired:true,\n placeholder:"Confirm Password" \n }\n]\n\nexport {loginFields,signupFields}The above file has two arrays: one each for your login form fields and signup form fields. Each array contains an object that contains attributes for the input fields.
\nThe field names should be self-explanatory as to what they represent. Here's a quick summary of that:
\nlabelText: The label for an input fieldlabelFor: The value that associates a label to the input field via an id attribute on the input fieldid, name , type, and placeholder: Respective attributes on the input field isRequired: If you want to make an input field mandatory, in this case, all our input fields for form submission will be mandatoryLater, we'll use this array to cycle through each input field and render a custom <Input/> component that you'll create shortly.
As you already have your components boilerplates in place, let's first set up routing for your app.
\nBy default, when a user opens the app, we'll direct them to a Login page. Then, if the route changes to /signup, we'll direct them to a Signup page.
\nHead over to your /src/App.js file and add the following code:
import './App.css';\nimport {\n BrowserRouter,\n Routes,\n Route,\n} from "react-router-dom";\nimport SignupPage from './pages/Signup';\nimport LoginPage from './pages/Login';\n\nfunction App() {\n return (\n <div className="min-h-full h-screen flex items-center justify-center py-12 px-4 sm:px-6 lg:px-8">\n <div className="max-w-md w-full space-y-8">\n <BrowserRouter>\n <Routes>\n <Route path="/" element={<LoginPage/>} />\n <Route path="/signup" element={<SignupPage/>} />\n </Routes>\n </BrowserRouter>\n </div>\n </div>\n );\n}\n\nexport default App;Notice that you have two containers wrapped around your <BrowserRouter/> with some long classnames.
The first container gives a minimum height of 100% and sets a fixed height of the container to 100vh via the min-h-full and h-screen classes. Then, it centers everything via flex, items-center to vertically center all the flex child elements, and justifty-center to center them horizontally.
Finally, we have some padding classes prefixed with p. For top and bottom padding, we use the prefix py- followed by some value. We also have some responsive padding on small and large screen devices prefixed with sm: and lg: respectively. You can learn more about these padding and margin properties to see other similar classes you can use.
Similarly, the second container sets some width for its child elements and provides some spacing via the respective Tailwind classes.
\nNow, let's create the <Header/> component that you can render on both the login and signup pages for quick information and navigation.
Head over to /src/components/Header.js, and add the following code:
import {Link} from 'react-router-dom';\n\nexport default function Header({\n heading,\n paragraph,\n linkName,\n linkUrl="#"\n}){\n return(\n <div className="mb-10">\n <div className="flex justify-center">\n <img \n alt=""\n className="h-14 w-14"\n src="https://ik.imagekit.io/pibjyepn7p9/Lilac_Navy_Simple_Line_Business_Logo_CGktk8RHK.webp?ik-sdk-version=javascript-1.4.3&updatedAt=1649962071315"/>\n </div>\n <h2 className="mt-6 text-center text-3xl font-extrabold text-gray-900">\n {heading}\n </h2>\n <p className="mt-2 text-center text-sm text-gray-600 mt-5">\n {paragraph} {' '}\n <Link to={linkUrl} className="font-medium text-purple-600 hover:text-purple-500">\n {linkName}\n </Link>\n </p>\n </div>\n )\n}Your <Header/> component takes four props:
heading that it displays on the top;paragraph;linkName to display which page it will redirect the user to; and,linkUrl.Using the ' justify-center ' class, we place all these elements inside a flexbox container and horizontally center them. There is also an outer container that simply gives the header some bottom margin using the mb-10 class.
Then, we give our header image some fixed height and width using the h-14 and w-14 classes, respectively.
Finally, our text and links have some typography classes for font-size, font-colour, hover effect, and font-weight.
\nLet's now go ahead and render the <Header/> component with all the props inside the Login page (/src/pages/Login.js):
import Header from "../components/Header"\n\nexport default function LoginPage(){\n return(\n <>\n <Header\n heading="Login to your account"\n paragraph="Don't have an account yet? "\n linkName="Signup"\n linkUrl="/signup"\n />\n \n </>\n )\n}Here's what the login page should now look like:
\n![\"login](\"/26cab105a1a68063a75793b96d95ac80/login-page-header.webp\")
Let's now start building the rest of the Login page form.
\nWe'll now create our reusable and great looking <Input/> component that you'll use to build your Login form.
Head over to the /src/components/Input.js file, and add the following code:
const fixedInputClass="rounded-md appearance-none relative block w-full px-3 py-2 border border-gray-300 placeholder-gray-500 text-gray-900 focus:outline-none focus:ring-purple-500 focus:border-purple-500 focus:z-10 sm:text-sm"\n\nexport default function Input({\n handleChange,\n value,\n labelText,\n labelFor,\n id,\n name,\n type,\n isRequired=false,\n placeholder,\n customClass\n}){\n return(\n <div className="my-5">\n <label htmlFor={labelFor} className="sr-only">\n {labelText}\n </label>\n <input\n onChange={handleChange}\n value={value}\n id={id}\n name={name}\n type={type}\n required={isRequired}\n className={fixedInputClass+customClass}\n placeholder={placeholder}\n />\n </div>\n )\n}Remember all those fields' key-value pairs you set earlier in your formFields.js constants file?
Those are all the props your <Input/> component will take. It will also take a value and a handleChange prop since we want this to be a controlled component linked to some state.
Notice how the HTML markup of this component looks very clean. How is that possible? Are you not using any Tailwind classes here?
\nAs there are a lot of Tailwind classes for styling this input field, we have created a constant for it — called fixedInputClass. It contains all the essential styling classes for the input field.
We also take a customClass prop that will append any custom Tailwind class you want to pass to the input field for customizations. How cool is that?!
Next, create the <Login/> component inside /src/components/Login.js, where the entire Login form will be rendered. This component will also be responsible for owning any state or event handlers passed down as props to other child components.
Based on your loginFields from your formFields constants, we programmatically generate an initial value for your loginState.
Then we have a handleChange event handler to update the state whenever an onChange event is fired from the nested <Input/> component.
Then we simply loop through the fields array and render an <Input/> component that you've created in the previous section.
import { useState } from 'react';\nimport { loginFields } from "../constants/formFields";\nimport Input from "./Input";\n\nconst fields=loginFields;\nlet fieldsState = {};\nfields.forEach(field=>fieldsState[field.id]='');\n\nexport default function Login(){\n const [loginState,setLoginState]=useState(fieldsState);\n\n const handleChange=(e)=>{\n setLoginState({...loginState,[e.target.id]:e.target.value})\n }\n\n\n return(\n <form className="mt-8 space-y-6">\n <div className="-space-y-px">\n {\n fields.map(field=>\n <Input\n key={field.id}\n handleChange={handleChange}\n value={loginState[field.id]}\n labelText={field.labelText}\n labelFor={field.labelFor}\n id={field.id}\n name={field.name}\n type={field.type}\n isRequired={field.isRequired}\n placeholder={field.placeholder}\n />\n \n )\n }\n </div>\n\n \n\n </form>\n )\n}Before seeing how the login form looks, you need to render it inside your Login page.
\nSo render the above <Login/> component inside /src/pages/Login.js file as shown:
import Header from "../components/Header"\nimport Login from "../components/Login"\n\nexport default function LoginPage(){\n return(\n <>\n <Header\n heading="Login to your account"\n paragraph="Don't have an account yet? "\n linkName="Signup"\n linkUrl="/signup"\n />\n <Login/>\n </>\n )\n}Now, if you go back to your React app, you should see your Login page input fields appear as follows:
\n![\"login](\"/f2f741bbfdd9ca6d3a42e3c102fbce7f/login-page-with-input-fields.webp\")
Excellent, it looks like you're almost there!
\nNow add the final pieces to the Login page by writing the <FormExtra> and <FormAction/> components.
The <FormExtra/> component holds the template and styles for a simple \"Remember me\" functionality.
Inside /src/components/FormExtra.js file, add the following code:
export default function FormExtra(){\n return(\n <div className="flex items-center justify-between ">\n <div className="flex items-center">\n <input\n id="remember-me"\n name="remember-me"\n type="checkbox"\n className="h-4 w-4 text-purple-600 focus:ring-purple-500 border-gray-300 rounded"\n />\n <label htmlFor="remember-me" className="ml-2 block text-sm text-gray-900">\n Remember me\n </label>\n </div>\n\n <div className="text-sm">\n <a href="#" className="font-medium text-purple-600 hover:text-purple-500">\n Forgot your password?\n </a>\n </div>\n </div>\n\n )\n}Again here we're using some Tailwind typography and flexbox classes to style and structure the layout of the UI.
\nLet's go to the /src/components/FormAction.js file and create a submit button for the Login form.
Add the following code inside this file:
\nexport default function FormAction({\n handleSubmit,\n type='Button',\n action='submit',\n text\n}){\n return(\n <>\n {\n type==='Button' ?\n <button\n type={action}\n className="group relative w-full flex justify-center py-2 px-4 border border-transparent text-sm font-medium rounded-md text-white bg-purple-600 hover:bg-purple-700 focus:outline-none focus:ring-2 focus:ring-offset-2 focus:ring-purple-500 mt-10"\n onSubmit={handleSubmit}\n >\n\n {text}\n </button>\n :\n <></>\n }\n </>\n )\n}Notice that you also have loads of CSS classes inside our <button/> element to style it. It makes our HTML appear bloated and difficult to read. We can follow the same approach of using a constant and a prop against the className for the <button/> as we previously did to combat this.
At last, we'll put everything together inside /src/components/Login.js file as follows:
import { useState } from 'react';\nimport { loginFields } from "../constants/formFields";\nimport FormAction from "./FormAction";\nimport FormExtra from "./FormExtra";\nimport Input from "./Input";\n\nconst fields=loginFields;\nlet fieldsState = {};\nfields.forEach(field=>fieldsState[field.id]='');\n\nexport default function Login(){\n const [loginState,setLoginState]=useState(fieldsState);\n\n const handleChange=(e)=>{\n setLoginState({...loginState,[e.target.id]:e.target.value})\n }\n\n const handleSubmit=(e)=>{\n e.preventDefault();\n authenticateUser();\n }\n\n //Handle Login API Integration here\n const authenticateUser = () =>{\n\n }\n\n return(\n <form className="mt-8 space-y-6" onSubmit={handleSubmit}>\n <div className="-space-y-px">\n {\n fields.map(field=>\n <Input\n key={field.id}\n handleChange={handleChange}\n value={loginState[field.id]}\n labelText={field.labelText}\n labelFor={field.labelFor}\n id={field.id}\n name={field.name}\n type={field.type}\n isRequired={field.isRequired}\n placeholder={field.placeholder}\n />\n \n )\n }\n </div>\n\n <FormExtra/>\n <FormAction handleSubmit={handleSubmit} text="Login"/>\n\n </form>\n )\n}And once we do that, we should have a stunning, modern looking login page appear right in front of us:
\n![\"login](\"/c4360134d23fb89738d726025f0eb31f/login-page.webp\")
You've created so many reusable components. Now, it's straightforward to use them to build the Signup page further.
\nFeel free to take this as a challenge and build it yourself based on what you've learned.
\nHere's a quick walkthrough of the steps and how you can use the same approach to build the Signup page in minutes.
\nFirst, create a main <Singup/> component inside /src/components/Signup.js file similar to the <Login/> component you've completed in the previous section. It will render the signup form fields and attach state and event handlers to it.
Here's how the entire code looks like:
\nimport { useState } from 'react';\nimport { signupFields } from "../constants/formFields"\nimport FormAction from "./FormAction";\nimport Input from "./Input";\n\nconst fields=signupFields;\nlet fieldsState={};\n\nfields.forEach(field => fieldsState[field.id]='');\n\nexport default function Signup(){\n const [signupState,setSignupState]=useState(fieldsState);\n\n const handleChange=(e)=>setSignupState({...signupState,[e.target.id]:e.target.value});\n\n const handleSubmit=(e)=>{\n e.preventDefault();\n console.log(signupState)\n createAccount()\n }\n\n //handle Signup API Integration here\n const createAccount=()=>{\n\n }\n\n return(\n <form className="mt-8 space-y-6" onSubmit={handleSubmit}>\n <div className="">\n {\n fields.map(field=>\n <Input\n key={field.id}\n handleChange={handleChange}\n value={signupState[field.id]}\n labelText={field.labelText}\n labelFor={field.labelFor}\n id={field.id}\n name={field.name}\n type={field.type}\n isRequired={field.isRequired}\n placeholder={field.placeholder}\n />\n \n )\n }\n <FormAction handleSubmit={handleSubmit} text="Signup" />\n </div>\n\n \n\n </form>\n )\n}Then, render this component inside /src/pages/Signup.js alongside the <Header/> components with some modified props for the signup page.
import Header from "../components/Header";\nimport Signup from "../components/Signup";\n\nexport default function SignupPage(){\n return(\n <>\n <Header\n heading="Signup to create an account"\n paragraph="Already have an account? "\n linkName="Login"\n linkUrl="/"\n />\n <Signup/>\n </>\n )\n}And that's it! That's all there is to build a great looking signup page that looks as follows:
\n![\"Signup](\"/b8ecfd45a40ee9ddde096b6f2fcc1a14/signup-page.webp\")
Don't worry; if you got stuck somewhere, feel free to refer to the entire codebase for this tutorial here.
\nYou can use LoginRadius to quickly set up an authentication backend for your frontend application.
\nFirst, set up an account, and get your API key from your Account Dashboard.
\nThen, you can use their login endpoint to authenticate users.
\nThe endpoint takes an email and password as parameters and validates them against the correct credentials. If we were to integrate this endpoint in our previously built <Login/> component (/scr/components/Login.js), here's what the authenticateUser method would look like:
//Handle Login API Integration here\n const authenticateUser = () =>{\n \n \n const endpoint=`https://api.loginradius.com/identity/v2/auth/login?apikey=${apiKey}`;\n fetch(endpoint,\n {\n method:'POST',\n headers: {\n 'Content-Type': 'application/json'\n },\n body:JSON.stringify(loginFields)\n }).then(response=>response.json())\n .then(data=>{\n //API Success from LoginRadius Login API\n })\n .catch(error=>console.log(error))\n \n }Similarly, you can use the Signup endpoint to create users without managing a complete backend database yourself.

\nWhether we talk about municipalities or government banking institutions, every organization can leverage the true potential of technology, data, and centralized identity to deliver unified and seamless digital experiences.
\nVarious technology organizations and government bodies work together as a part of GovTech to ensure the citizens can reap the maximum benefit through an interconnected network.
\nGovTech refers to the efforts to digitally transform public administrations and various government and public sector organizations through innovative technological solutions.
\nLet’s understand the aspects of GovTech and how it’s offering endless opportunities for the sake of citizens’ benefits.
\nEvery enterprise is putting every effort into getting maximum user engagement, and users already have up to snuff digital experiences from these enterprises; the public sector still lags.
\nThe private sector has taken a giant leap in digital transformation and user experience. However, the same is missing in the case of public sector and government organizations.
\nTo overcome the issues about standards that most leading organizations in the private sector have already set, GovTech was introduced to respond to the evident gap between the citizens and the public sector.
\nGovTech, the word itself is made from two individual terms-Government and Technology. Considering all the private sector's transformations, GovTech emphasizes incorporating technological innovations to digitize the relationship between various administrations and citizens smartly.
\nGovTech, in a nutshell, refers to the technological infrastructure that a government uses to modernize its public sector for better citizen engagement.
\nSince we’ve gained enough knowledge about GovTech and its role, let’s understand its advantages for the public sector.
\nCities need one unified self-service portal so that their constituents have a seamless, efficient experience as they access the services they need. The GovTech infrastructure lets cities centralize their customer-facing digital applications into one portal.
\n
\nThis single locus of access delivers a connected experience across multiple touchpoints and channels. This infrastructure supports account summary, customer profiles, permit applications, bill payments, etc.
What good is a centralized portal if citizens have to create multiple identities for individual web and mobile applications? Operating in this way creates identity silos that prevent a complete view of the customer’s journey and preferences, which means the customer experience can’t be optimized for each individual.
\n
\nWithout a seamless user experience, engagement rates drop. But with GovTech incorporating Single Sign-On (SSO), cities and companies can allow customers to access all applications within their platform with a single set of unified credentials rather than register and log in to each service separately.
![\"public-sector-ds\"](\"/9ec11f35ef67371ed9cf6f0b30fa3972/public-sector-ds.webp\")
Many public sector organizations have difficulty using customer data to improve the digital experience. With GovTech offering third-party applications such as CRM, email marketing tools, online communities, payment systems and more, citizens can leverage the interconnected experience. They can quickly utilize any such integration for convenience in a single platform.
\n
\nMoreover, third-party integrations enable organizations to use that customer data to understand their customers better, offer more helpful information and deliver that information more directly.
Authentication in the public sector is crucial, which eventually requires a robust mechanism to ensure that user identities remain secured.
\nGovTech can leverage multi-factor authentication through SMS, automated phone calls, email, security questions, and authenticator apps, allowing them to customize the citizen experience. Depending on the diverse public sector needs, they can also opt to turn on Multi-Factor Authentication across all customer accounts.
\nOn the other hand, GovTech can leverage Risk-based authentication as a non-static authentication system that considers the profile (IP address, Browser, physical Location, and so on) of a citizen requesting access to the system to determine the risk profile associated with that action.
\nThe risk-based implementation allows diverse web applications to challenge the user for additional credentials only when the risk level is appropriate, improving customer experience.
\nThe public sector is an integral part of any state’s overall development since much good work depends on these public sector organizations.
\nUntil now, most government bodies aren’t utilizing GovTech, but the trend is soon changing. Many public sector organizations and government bodies are already putting their best foot forward in adopting GovTech for digital transformation.
\nWhether it’s authentication or delivering a consistent omnichannel experience, GovTech can help the public sector build a flawless citizen experience coupled with enhanced security that ensures the overall digital transformation of the public sector.

If you're serving your clients online, you must be aware that almost 80% of online shopping orders were abandoned, i.e., not converted as per stats of March 2021. And this pattern isn’t new; it’s the new normal.
\nYour customers are already interacting with brands like Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, and Google. They know what a great personalized user experience is. And if you’re not offering the same level of user experience on your online platform, you won’t be able to match their expectations!
\nUsers will land on your website/app, browse a little, find what they’re looking for, and then a single lousy experience will force them to switch—resulting in cart abandonment.
\nBut why do businesses face such issues? Are there any issues that are causing users to switch?
\nUndoubtedly, yes! Poor login and authentication with or without traditional IAM (identity and access management) are the most common issues that force users to switch.
\nBusinesses are still relying on old-school login and authentication mechanisms, including organization-level IAM, which is why their business lags behind their competitors.
\nAnd the catch is that they aren’t aware of consumer identity and access management (CIAM) platforms that can help them overcome the challenges of low conversions and lead generation.
\nLet’s quickly understand the aspects of traditional IAM and why businesses need the true potential of CIAM.
\nTraditional identity and access management (IAM) solutions are traditionally used to streamline employee provisioning, manage access rights, assist in compliance reporting, automate approval workflows, fuel authentication, authorization, and numerous other security-relevant functions.
\nBut out of convenience, businesses try to adopt this technology to manage customer identities as well. Unfortunately, internal identity management systems don’t have the right capabilities to manage and secure the hundreds of millions of users on consumer-facing platforms.
\nThis is where customer IAM (CIAM) solutions come in. These solutions have been built to specifically handle the requirements for customer authentication, scalability, privacy and data regulations, user experience, and integration.
\nIn comparison to internal management, a customer identity and access management (CIAM) solution improves the customer experience, reduces security risks, shrinks costs, and increases the availability of applications.
\nSince we’ve learned about the significant differences between a CIAM and conventional IAM, let’s closely look at some signs that depict that your business now needs a CIAM makeover.
\nOne of the most significant indicators of bad authentication and user management is that your website or mobile application has good traffic but isn’t converting.
\nMost of the time, users face friction in authentication, remembering passwords, or going through multiple registration stages. This annoying experience forces them to switch to your competitors, offering seamless authentication, registration, and login experience.
\nSo, what’s the ideal solution for this dilemma?
\nWell, a cutting-edge cloud-based CIAM solution like LoginRadius can help you increase your conversions and generate more leads.
\nWith features like Social Login, Single Sign-On (SSO), and Progressive Profiling, you can stay assured your users aren’t facing any hurdles from the moment they interact with your brand.
\n![\"EB-GD-to-cons-id\"](\"/106a246e0adbf482565e194a895c4b94/EB-GD-to-cons-id.webp\")
Businesses collect consumer data, but it is often segregated among repositories and departments. The CIAM platform provides you with a wealth of information on your consumers’ identities and habits.
\nUnlike traditional IAM, CIAM allows building a detailed profile of each consumer, including personal information, purchase histories, and usage and purchasing patterns.
\nThis data may be combined into a single consumer view, which may be pushed into other enterprise programs to improve sales forecasting, tailored marketing, and new product development.
\nAPIs are widely used in the latest generation of CIAM platforms to link identity data and analytics into complementary systems like content management, ERP, and consumer experience management.
\nConcerning the traditional IAM, authentication has been a simple decision based on the credentials supplied up until now. This was accomplished by using a username and password that were both relatively weak.
\nThough the invention of two-factor authentication (2FA) employing a second step such as an SMS message has helped, it is still vulnerable to hacking.
\nThe CIAM, on the other hand, offers multi-factor authentication (MFA), which can include biometrics, geolocation, and user behavior, providing increased security. These features also enable the use of analytics to give additional capabilities like anomaly detection, which may be used to identify and address unexpected behavior swiftly.
\nThe LoginRadius CIAM platform provides security beyond the client, including employees, partners, applications, and interconnected devices, to develop a comprehensive end-to-end solution.
\nData privacy is a critical component of any CIAM solution, especially when consumers are responsible for their data and profile management.
\nUnlike the traditional IAM, the CIAM platform offers your consumers visibility and control over how and where their data is shared. So it includes both consent and preference management, which allows your consumers to choose how their data is collected and used.
\nConsent management, for example, must allow your client to establish multi-level consent – where data can be used for one reason but not for another – that can be turned on and off at any moment, according to EU’s GDPR requirements.
\nThe CIAM platform necessitates significant self-service features so that your consumers may manage their consents and preferences through their profile, as well as robust tracking and auditing so that you can meet other global compliances, including California's CCPA.
\nYou can’t ignore the fact that new customer acquisition is as essential as retaining current customers. If you’re not making new customers, it’s high time you must incorporate a CIAM solution instead of the traditional IAM.
\nEndless reasons, including a lengthy registration process, could lead to situations where you cannot convert new users and drop the overall growth rates.
\nBy incorporating a CIAM solution like LoginRadius, you can leverage the true potential of progressive profiling that enables your customers to share their details gradually and not immediately when they interact for the first time with your platform.
\nApart from this, creating personalized customer journeys by leveraging social media data and consumer behavior can also help increase engagement with your brand leading to more new conversions.
\nModern customers know exactly what they want, and to ensure they don’t switch, organizations have to stay ahead of the competition by pleasing their users right from the beginning they interact with their brand.
\nAlso, the traditional IAM cannot meet the surging demands of today’s customers. Hence, it’s crucial to incorporate a reliable CIAM solution like LoginRadius that helps deliver a rich consumer experience and robust security and helps meet global compliance requirements.
\nIf you’re facing any of the challenges mentioned above, it’s high time to switch to a reliable CIAM solution.

When you set up privacy policies for customers, you’re making a promise. You’re ensuring to people who trust you with their sensitive information that you’ll do everything in your power to protect it.
\nBut business data has never been in greater danger than it is today. Cybercriminals have become more advanced, digitally pillaging companies, endangering customers, and stealing billions in revenue. In 2021, businesses suffered 50% more cyber attacks per week than in 2020. This was the same year that cybercriminals managed to steal $6.9 billion.
\nBut there is an effective way you can fight back against cybercriminals. Access management allows you to police your access points by increasing security around how users and employees alike access systems.
\nSo what are some of the ways in which you can create an airtight access management plan? What can you do to ensure that cybercriminals can’t worm their way into your system?
\nThat’s what we’re going to address in this article. We’ll walk you through five access management best practices to help you keep your systems reserved for valid users only.
\nBefore we jump into our best practices, let’s talk about why some businesses and industries need to tighten digital security.
\nAccess management measures are essential for high-risk industries. They can help you protect your customers by limiting how they can access their accounts.
\nLet’s say you’ve developed a personal finance software solution, and a customer calls in asking how to link their bank account to your budgeting app.
\nYou’re going to need to authenticate that user’s identity before giving them access to the account. Anyone can call in claiming to be anyone. But if you have access management measures in place, they won’t be able to break in. This could be something like multi-factor authentication or asking them to provide additional information before assisting them.
\nIf you use a CRM platform for managing customer relationships, you’re going to be keeping a lot of confidential information online that’s vital to your organization. That’s why you have to make sure that the only people accessing your CRM are current team members. If you let a sales associate go and don’t have an access management protocol in place that immediately revokes their account, they could log in remotely and make off with a ton of company data.
\nCentral platforms like LoginRadius let companies access all of their tools from one platform — with just one login. But if you don’t have access management protocols in place for a centralizing system like this, a cybercriminal could gain access to every tool your organization uses with just one attack.
\nAccess management needs to be both effective and easy to manage for the people who need access to your systems.
\nTake the grant systems that many institutions use as an example. They often have pristine access management protocols in place. If accessing this system were too easy in an unprotected environment, malicious actors could gain access to their systems and make off with precious information. But if that system wasn’t also user-friendly for authorized users, something as simple as asking “how do student grants work” could be a nightmare time sucker.
\nThe following best practices will help you improve your access management, enabling maximum protection against cybercrime and creating a more secure business environment.
\nOne of the best ways to protect your company’s digital assets is to implement a zero-trust policy.
\nZero trust is exactly what it sounds like. Every member of your organization is forced to authenticate their identities before being able to access any resources. This includes employees who are already active inside a company network.
\n![\"zero-trust\"](\"/88ad244317b66a6cf1f2a4803907d0b3/zero-trust.webp\")
This methodology means that every person and every device is treated as though it’s a potential threat. When working under zero trust, the system will be able to identify any abnormal behaviors while tracking both activities and risk levels.
\nWhen assigning privileges to accounts, it’s best to err on the side of caution. That’s where the Principle of Least Privilege comes into play. Also sometimes known as the Principle of Least Authority, it’s when you provide the minimum level of access to all users. This includes permissions granted to consumers.
\nYou’re basically giving everyone the bare minimum level of access they need to accomplish what they need to while using your system. Obviously, some roles within your organization will need more access than others — an accountant requires different access than a sales agent, so they would have completely different access levels.
\nWhen you restrict users from any non-essential access, you effectively cut off opportunities for cybercriminals to access your entire system.
\nA lot of people believe that a strong password is all they really need to have a secure online experience. However, password misuse often leads to cybercrime breaches and data attacks. It all boils down to the actual security behind the password — the person and their habits. If a staff member opens malware and gets a keylogger, it doesn’t matter if you mandate 12 characters, symbols, and numbers. Your business information is still ripe for the picking.
\nThat’s why multi-factor authentication has become an essential access management practice. It adds an additional security layer to the login process.
\nWhen you use MFA, anyone logging in will be asked to provide an additional method of verification once they enter their password. This could be entering a code sent to their email or via text message. It could also be a biometric scan on a mobile device like a fingerprint or facial recognition.
\n![\"EB-GD-to-MFA\"](\"/b319bf6ed09ba90828b27b6cc2c2eb75/EB-GD-to-MFA.webp\")
If your business hasn’t yet upgraded its systems to the cloud, then you have a glaring access management vulnerability.
\nMany believed for a long time that in-house servers were safer than cloud-based systems, but cloud platforms encrypt all data while providing enhanced security features like patch management, integrations, and segmentation, to name a few. Plus, your on-site servers are vulnerable to physical access from unauthorized users who could break into your facility.
\nAnyone looking to protect on-site servers from hackers will have to make a great investment in both time and money.
\nPersonnel changes represent a huge vulnerability from an access management standpoint. Offboarding needs to be done right away when a member of your team quits or is let go.
\nFailure to revoke access to your systems in a timely manner could leave you open to attack. Say your sales director is moving to a new position with a rival company. If they still have access to customer data, they could take it with them, delete it entirely off your platform, or try to steal your leads.
\nYou also never want to leave orphaned accounts in play. These are accounts that have no assigned user but still contain all of the information and permissions associated with your former team member.
\nHackers love orphaned accounts because they’re relatively easy to gain access to. A hacker could then easily crack the credentials of your former employee and weasel their way into that account.
\nOnce inside, they have access to everything that specific team member could once see and do. If they had access to customer information, then you officially have a data breach on your hands.
\nThat’s why it’s a good idea to automate the onboarding and offboarding processes. This will save your IT department time and ensure that new team members and vendors get the right permissions right away and have them taken away the moment they’re no longer with you.
\nYou need to implement access management protocols within your organization. It’s the only way to protect yourself from the ongoing threat represented by cybercriminals.
\nThese cyber-threats are not going away anytime soon, and they’re not going to become any easier to fight off. Malicious actors are constantly looking for new ways to break into your systems and take off with your sensitive and valuable data. They’re also always on the cutting edge of technology, creating new and inventive ways to get past your security and gain access.
\nThis list isn’t a “pick one, and you’re done” guide. You can create an airtight access management plan by implementing all five of these tips. That means adopting a zero-trust policy, using the Principle of Least Privilege, having everyone use MFA, getting rid of high-risk systems, and removing orphaned accounts to prevent hackers from gaining access.
\nUse these best practices to manage access to your systems and ensure that all data within your organization is safe from malicious cybercriminals.

There are many use cases of a system where machine-to-machine (M2M) communication is required, or you need to manage access for internal and external APIs. The example of M2M communications are:
\nIn such cases, the generic authentication methods such as email/password and social login — requiring human intervention — don’t fit well. These interactions also need a secure and easy-to-use authorization process for permission-based data access.
\nM2M Authorization fulfills both these requirements. Let’s know more about what it is and how it works.
\nM2M Authorization is the process of providing remote systems with secure access to information. Using this process, business systems can communicate autonomously and execute business functions based on predefined authorization.
\nIt is exclusively used for scenarios in which a business system authenticates and authorizes a service rather than a user.
\nLoginRadius M2M Authorization uses the Client Credentials Grant Flow (defined in OAuth 2.0 RFC 6749), in which the client passes along secure credentials to authenticate themselves and receive an authorization token.
\nSuppose an organization has a microservices environment consisting of multiple services running locally. The organization also has data storage on a different network and requires:
\nAs a standard process and security measure, services require authorization while saving and reading the data to and from the storage. The organization can use LoginRadius for autonomous authorization by creating two dedicated M2M apps with write and read permissions.
\nThe following two scenarios explain how you can use LoginRadius M2M Authentication and Authorization to share permission-based access of APIs to any internal or external systems:
\n\n\nImportant: M2M App referred to in the scenarios below must be created individually for each internal or external system you want to grant access to. Upon app creation, you receive the Client Id and Client Secret.
\n
Scenario 1: To grant desired access to your LoginRadius Management APIs.
\nTo start using the M2M Authorization for this scenario, you need to create an M2M App and define the desired scope of API(s), as explained here.
\n![\"Manage](\"/b8f744dd0b3e3134ba15da9a57065e06/manage-machine-to-machine-app.webp\")
Scenario 2: To grant desired access to your Business APIs.
\nTo start using the M2M Authorization for this scenario, you need to define your API in LoginRadius with name, identifier, and scope details and then create an M2M App with the desired scope of API(s), as explained here.
\n![\"Manage](\"/581f977dc41d3629a41005927d17d6d9/manage-authorization-server-apis.webp\")
In both scenarios, you get the Client Id and Client Secret for the created app, which you need to share with the partner or service who wants to access your APIs.
\nLoginRadius M2M Authorization uses client credentials grant flow from OAuth 2.0. In this flow, the client (depicted as Server 1 and Server 2 in the diagram below) holds Client ID and Client Secret and uses them to request an access token.
\nThis grant-type flow occurs strictly between a client app and the authorization server. The user does not participate in this grant-type flow.
\n![\"Client](\"/12bcf9518137404b87d488814bd56d4c/client-credentials-grant-flow.webp\")
The client (partner, API, service, etc.) requests the access token using the following API:
\nAPI endpoint: https://api.loginradius.com/services/oauth/token
The following is an example request:
\nPOST https://<LoginRadiusAppName>.hub.loginradius.com/service/oauth/token\nContent-Type: application/json\n{\n "audience": "`https://api.loginradius.com/identity/v2/manage",`\n "grant_type": "client_credentials",\n "client_id": "<YOUR_CLIENT_ID>",\n "client_secret": "<YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET>"\n}LoginRadius Authorization Server validates the request. Upon validation, it returns the JWT access token to the client.
\nThe following is an example response with an access token:
\n{\n "access_token": "eyJz93a...k4laUWw",\n "token_type": "Bearer",\n "expires_in": 86400,\n}\n\nJWT Token Details\n{\n "iss": "https://<LoginRadiusAppName>.hub.loginradius.com/",\n "sub": "<OAuth APPs APIKey>@client",\n "jti": "<unique Identifier>"\n "aud":"`https://api.loginradius.com/identity/v2/manage", //or https://service.example.com/api/v2`\n "cid": "<APPConfig APIKey>",\n "sid": "<LR access Token>" \n "exp": 1311281970,\n "iat": 1311281670,\n "scp": [\n "profile:read",\n "profile:create",\n ],\n "gty":"client_credentials"\n}The client can call APIs (as per the defined scope) using the JWT token. APIs will work based on permissions without the use of Client Secret.
\ncurl --request GET \\\n --url `https://api.loginradius.com/identity/v2/manage/account/{uid} \\`\n --header 'authorization: Bearer eyJhb……….jVZ2w'\n --header 'X-LoginRadius-ApiKey: {apiKey}The client (partner, API, service, etc.) requests the access token using the following API:\nAPI endpoint: https://
POST https://<LoginRadiusAppName>.hub.loginradius.com/service/oauth/token\nContent-Type: application/json\n{\n"audience": "<business API endpoint>",\n"grant_type": "client_credentials",\n"client_id": "<YOUR_CLIENT_ID>",\n"client_secret": "<YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET>"\n}\n\nNote: Where
\n<LoginRadiusAppName>is the name of your LoginRadius App.\nIn response, the client will get an access token.
Use the generated JWT token in the authorization for APIs.
\ncurl --request GET \\\n--url < API URL > \\\n--header 'authorization: Bearer eyJh………VZ2w'Overall, M2M Authorization offers secure access to improve business efficiency — and ultimately enhances user experience. In detail, the benefits include but are not limited to:
\nM2M Authorization is a secure and reliable method of autonomous interactions. It aids business systems in achieving greater efficiency and eliminates the need for human involvement. It also enables businesses to provide flexible machine-to-machine communication while enforcing granular access, authorization, and security requirements.

They leave digital traces everywhere they go, and this is why it’s so important to secure your customer's digital identity.
\nAccording to a report, 92% of small-to-medium-sized businesses deal with identity challenges, and a whopping 95% of professionals expect strong password policies from their organizations.
\nNo wonder, identity management systems continue to evolve and aid organizations in securing their data. In this blog post, we will discuss the importance of people's in Customer IAM.
\nBlending Identity With Security Management
\nIdentity management refers to the process of identifying individuals based on their roles within an organization or their relationship with third parties such as suppliers or customers. It also involves managing user access privileges based on their requirements or permissions required by their job functions within the company structure.
\nIdentity influences different elements of an organization, and the most vital one among them is information security. So, it is fair to say that identity and security management run in the same circle.
\nA sound identity management system helps an organization identify its users and ensure they are who they say they are. This protects not just the organization but also its users from fraudulent attacks such as phishing and other forms of cybercrime.
\nBy integrating these two functions into one system, organizations can benefit from improved efficiency while reducing costs associated with managing them separately (particularly when considering how much time could be wasted trying to keep track of multiple passwords for different applications).
\nIn the world of identity management, customer experience is a crucial factor contributing to the digital mesh that underpins businesses.
\nBusinesses have historically associated identity management with security only. This process ensures that businesses can curb security threats by giving access to only authorized persons with the right resources. They can apply this rule not only to employees but also to customers.
\nHowever, recent research shows that customer experience plays a crucial role in ensuring a seamless and satisfying customer experience. Until recently, this system associated itself with only security.
\nThis means that when you are making an online purchase or applying for credit, your data is not being used just for security purposes but also for creating a better customer experience. This means that your data will be used to provide you with personalized content, targeted offers and recommendations based on your behavior and preferences.
\n![\"EB-omnichannel\"](\"/d5d452c185b8b02d0349db4bfacccd22/EB-omnichannel.webp\")
Here are some common challenges that business owners may face when trying to manage their user's identities:
\nIn the tech world, we've seen significant improvements in security measures that make life easier for everyone. The most common examples include passwordless authentication, biometrics, voice recognition, etc. Enterprises are also starting to see those influences on customer experience in identity management.
\nThe biggest changes have been around security and convenience. For example, you can now use your face or fingerprint to log into your online bank account instead of having to remember a string of numbers and letters or type them in from a mobile device. There are also fewer steps involved in signing up for new accounts as companies like Facebook offer sign-up via Messenger and Twitter allows you to use your phone number as an identifier rather than creating a username and password combination (which is how most people sign up).
\nThese improvements have made life easier for everyone involved—from users who don't have to remember multiple passwords or keep track of one too many credit cards anymore; to companies who don't have to worry about protecting sensitive information anymore because there's no need for a traditional username/password combination. These are all great improvements!
\nAs we are living in a digital world, customers are expecting personalized experiences. The pandemic has witnessed a massive growth in customers who rely on digital channels. It has led to the acceleration of digital identity management in many organizations. Organizations must have the best identity management to support and control customer journeys within channels. That is to provide an excellent CX in identity management.
\nStudies have shown that 79% of customers refuse to engage with brands if an excellent customer experience is missing. So, customer experience can make or break the reputation and profits of brands.
\nBusinesses that strive to provide the best customer experience in identity management must follow these steps.
\nCustomer experience and identity management go hand in hand. So, organizations must make sure they have the best digital systems to provide a personalized experience. LoginRadius helps organizations manage user identities to deliver a unified customer experience. Overall, it provides a secure and delightful experience for the customers using the innovative customer identity platform.
