Secure and authenticate your applications with IBM App ID
What do you like best?
IBM App ID provides an easy to use authentication service for applications. Setting up an App ID service is quick and simple, and by registering your apps against App ID, you can issue API tokens for authentication into your applications. This is very useful as it allows for application developers to focus on the development of business logic and user experience, with the assurance of authentication being handled by the App ID service.
What do you dislike?
IBM App ID requires the use of IBM Cloud, which might not be in everyone's tech stack. If this authentication service can be exported to other infrastructures, it will be much more appealing and have a bigger user base.
