User & Identity
Skygear Auth has two main concepts: User and Identity. Each user in your app may have multiple identity, while each identity will correspond to single user.
For example, a user John Doe may have three identity:
- Email of [email protected]
- Username of johndoe
- Facebook account of John Doe
To authenticate in Skygear, the user need to have their identity verified. Skygear supports three type of identities: password-based, OAuth, and custom token.
All associated identities of a user can be listed through API.
This identity type would be used when user signed up with a Login ID and password. User can then login with the same login ID and password.
By default, Skygear allows three types of login ID: email, username, and phone.
This identity type would be used when user login with OAuth provider. Currently Skygear supports the following OAuth providers:
- Facebook
- Google
- Instagram
- LinkedIn
- Azure Active-Directory v2
