## About Auth0 {#about-aboutauth0}

Auth0 helps you to:

-   Add authentication with [multiple authentication sources](https://auth0.com/docs/identityproviders), either social like
    **Google, Facebook, Microsoft Account, LinkedIn, GitHub, Twitter, Box, Salesforce, among others**, or enterprise identity
    systems like Windows Azure AD, Google Apps, Active Directory, ADFS or any SAML Identity Provider.
-   Add authentication through more traditional
    [username/password databases](https://auth0.com/docs/connections/database/custom-db).
-   Add support for [linking different user accounts](https://auth0.com/docs/link-accounts) with the same user.
-   Support for generating signed [JSON Web Tokens](https://auth0.com/docs/jwt) to call your APIs and flow the user
    identity securely.
-   Analytics of how, when, and where users are logging in.
-   Pull data from other sources and add it to the user profile, through
    [JavaScript rules](https://auth0.com/docs/rules/current).
