Sign-up & sign-in overview

Clerk supports multiple authentication strategies so that you can implement the strategy that makes sense for your users. You can use the Account Portal, prebuilt components, or build your own custom flows.

Configuration

Configuring your application is done through the Clerk Dashboard⁠. The Clerk Dashboard is where you, as the application owner, can manage your application's settings, users, and organizations. For example, if you want to enable phone number authentication, multi-factor authentication, social providers like Google, delete users, or create organizations, you can do all of this and more in the Clerk Dashboard. You can even invite other users to join your organization workspace and help configure and manage your application with you.

• Enterprise SSO
  • SAML
