Using Auth0

The challenge

Signify, maker of Philips Hue, wanted to stop reinventing identity and access management in-house so its teams could focus on differentiating lighting and security products. It also needed authentication that was compliant with U.S. and EU regulations.

The solution

Signify migrated millions of user accounts to Auth0, adopting Single Sign-On, Multi-Factor Authentication, Enterprise MFA, and Attack Protection. Existing accounts were migrated automatically upon login.

Auth0 enabled us to reduce our IAM-related development and maintenance by 80%, freeing us to focus on new lighting and security offerings that truly differentiate our products rather than reinventing the IAM wheel.
