Social Login: Enforce Re-Authentication with auth_type
In this update, we have enhanced social login functionality by introducing support for the auth_type
parameter, particularly beneficial for providers like Facebook. This feature provides more control over authentication processes, enhancing security and user experience.
The OIDC provider now includes the option to use the auth_type
parameter, allowing users to trigger re-authentication when set to re-authenticate, similar to using prompt=login
with other providers.
Added support for the
auth_type
parameter in social login.You can now use
auth_type=re-authenticate
for OIDC providers to force re-authentication.
When you have configured Facebook as login option, review the Facebook Re-authentication document, as well as the Ory documentation to use this feature.
