Problem Statement

Problem Statement

Problem Statement

Freo encountered key challenges with its existing authentication setup, which relied on multiple vendors. This fragmented approach led to complex orchestration, increased development overhead, and inconsistent user experiences across platforms. 

With rapidly growing user base and almost 8% of authentications getting failed, Freo struggled to scale and provide a reliable auth system required for a high-growth fintech startup.

Freo needed a unified authentication solution that could not only streamline backend operations but also enhance user conversion, reduce latency, and simplify ongoing maintenance. The goal was to ensure a seamless, secure login experience that could keep up with user expectations and the pace of product growth.
