4. Save the configurations and deploy the Auth Studio.

Refer to this document for more detailed information on auth studio and their customization.

1. Multi-branding

The Auth Studio framework supports multi-branding, enabling businesses to tailor authentication pages based on customer access points. This ensures that different branding elements (logos, colors, and messaging) are dynamically displayed depending on user entry points.

Methods for Multi-Branding:

• Query Parameter Detection: Append a brand parameter to the IDX URL (e.g., ?brand=Brand_A) and dynamically load different styles.
• Domain-Based Detection: Detect the domain from which the IDX page is accessed and apply corresponding branding elements.
• Custom JavaScript and CSS: Use separate JavaScript files or dynamically load CSS to modify branding.

Please refer to this document for detailed information on Multibranding customization and configuration.

Identity Orchestration

Identity Orchestration (IO) empowers businesses to design and manage customized identity workflows that align with their unique customer journeys. Whether it's registration, authentication, or password recovery, IO provides the flexibility to configure workflows using pre-built templates or create tailored experiences with the intuitive Workflow Builder. This ensures seamless identity processes for different brands, customer segments, or use cases, optimizing security and user experience while improving operational efficiency.

Key Features of Identity Orchestration

• No-Code Workflow Builder: Design and modify authentication workflows using drag-and-drop tools.
• Pre-Built & Custom Workflows: Utilize ready-made templates or create tailored identity processes.
• Brand Customization: Apply AI-generated themes or configure branding for multiple customer segments.

• Seamless Deployment: Test, edit, and launch workflows instantly for continuous improvements.

Basic Configuration Steps

1. Access Workflow Builder – Navigate to Identity Orchestration in the Admin Console.
2. Customize Branding – Modify themes, colors, and layouts using AI or manual tools.
3. Design Workflows – Drag and drop nodes to create registration, login, and recovery processes.
4. Implement Scripts – Add validation and automation logic as needed.
5. Test & Deploy – Preview, refine and publish workflows with a single click.

This ensures businesses can create scalable, secure, and flexible identity journeys with minimal effort. More details can be found in this document.

Frontend SDK

LoginRadius ships two generations of frontend libraries. New integrations should adopt V3 — a lightweight, hook-driven SDK shared by both JavaScript and React. V2 remains supported for existing deployments and continues to receive maintenance updates.

V3 (Recommended)

V3 is a ground-up rewrite with a modular architecture, promise-based APIs, default styles, and built-in localization. A single engine powers both distribution packages, so JavaScript and React applications share the same flow registry, session, and customization surface.

• V3 JS SDK (@loginradius/loginradius-js) — all-in-one JavaScript SDK that ships pre-built UI components rendered into any DOM container. Works with any framework or plain HTML via CDN. Best for Vue, Angular, Svelte, and vanilla HTML.
• V3 React SDK (@loginradius/loginradius-react) — React-first SDK with context providers, hooks, and pre-built flow components that manage auth state through React's component model. Best for React and Next.js applications.

Migrating from V2? Follow the V2 → V3 Migration Guide.

V2 (Legacy)

The V2 JS library remains the right choice for existing customers who depend on its hook system, form library, and context-based customization. It is not recommended for new builds.

• JS Hooks — trigger actions before, during, or after form events to drive UI updates, validation, error handling, and API interactions.
• Advanced JS Customizations — extend behavior with custom scripts, event listeners, and API integrations for tailored UI/UX, security, and validation.
• JS Form Library — a pre-built framework for login, registration, password reset, and MFA forms with flexible design and validation.
• Customization by Context — adapt the authentication interface based on user location, device, and language using customizable labels, messages, templates, and UI themes.
