01We still have Rules and Hooks in our tenant. What happens when they reach end of life?
Hooks stop running after 30 April 2027 and Rules after 31 January 2028, and Auth0 removes them, so whatever login logic still lives in one simply stops happening. They've been read-only since 18 November 2024, which means you can't patch them in the meantime. List what each Rule and Hook does, rebuild it as an Action, and test sign-in in staging before the old ones go away.
02We're still on old Auth0 SDK versions. Which releases fix the October 2026 advisories?
auth0.js 10.3.0, auth0-lock 13.2.1 or 15.0.2, auth0/java-jwt 4.6.2 and nextjs-auth0 4.32.0. Okta published all four advisories on 13 October 2026. If you also run the AD/LDAP Connector, it needs 8.0.0 for two September CVEs, one of them scored CVSS 9. Check lockfiles and Maven or Gradle builds too, not only the top-level manifest.
03What drives the cost of an Auth0 implementation?
Mostly the number of applications, how users are migrated and how much custom logic lives in Actions. A single app with social login is small work. Several apps, B2B Organizations with enterprise connections, and a lazy migration from a legacy database take longer. The Auth0 subscription itself is priced separately by Okta.
04Should we use Auth0 or Okta Workforce Identity?
Use Auth0 when the people signing in are your customers or your business customers' users. Employees and contractors signing into your own business apps belong in Okta Workforce Identity. Plenty of companies run both, and we'll help you decide where each kind of user goes.
05Can you secure the MCP server our agents use?
Yes. Auth for MCP has been generally available since 6 May 2026. We register the MCP server as an API, give each tool its own scope, and test that an agent's token can't reach a tool the user never allowed. CIMD with dynamic registration went into Early Access on 22 October 2026 and lets MCP clients connect without an admin registering each one, so decide early whether you'd rather keep a manual approval step.
06Can you also move us off Cognito, Firebase or a custom user table?
Yes. The question is whether we can export the existing password hashes. If we can, it's a bulk import. If we can't, a custom database connection moves each user over the next time they sign in. Auth0 changes how those connections import first-time users on 20 January 2027, so we test new migrations against the new behavior.
07How long does a move from a homegrown login to Auth0 take?
It depends on how many applications share the login, whether the password hashes can be exported, and how much logic sits in the current sign-up flow. One app with importable hashes is a short project. Several apps and an on-sign-in migration that runs until inactive users age out take longer. We size it after reading the current code and user store.
