WorkOS Connect provides APIs and controls for applications to authenticate and access user identities securely. It supports common use-cases like customer applications, auxiliary tools, and partner integrations, allowing developers to create OAuth or Machine-to-Machine (M2M) applications within the WorkOS Dashboard.

AuthKit offers a straightforward authentication solution that integrates easily into applications, requiring a WorkOS account and specific API credentials. The guide details the setup process, including configuring redirect URIs for login and logout, and provides links to example applications for reference. Users can quickly implement the hosted authentication flow by following the outlined steps in the WorkOS Dashboard.
