Authentication Flow Diagrams

Auth and login flows can start simple and quickly get complicated. They can involve cookies, tokens, 3rd party services and integrations, analytics systems, and user role provisioning. Using Eraser's powerful diagraming features, you can easily visualize how users log in to your app and authenticate with any 3rd party integrations you offer.

Eraser's built-in examples are an excellent way to get started documenting your auth flows or design a new implementation.
