An Example App For Adding User Authentication to Express with Authgear as the Identity Provider.

What is Authgear?

Authgear is a secure authentication and user management platform. It uses OpenID Connect (OIDC) and OAuth 2.0 to identify who a user is and grant authorization to protected resources.

This example app uses Express JavaScript to create a simple web app that allows users to log in to their accounts and displays user info.
