Step-up auth for sensitive operations

Step-up authentication is a security feature that requires users to re-authenticate or provide additional verification when attempting to access sensitive operations or resources within your application.

With step-up auth, you can:

• Require re-authentication for sensitive operations like changing passwords, updating payment methods, or accessing admin panels
• Implement challenge-based flows that prompt users to verify their identity before proceeding
• Customize authentication requirements based on the sensitivity of the operation
• Enhance security by adding an extra layer of protection for high-risk actions

Step-up authentication helps protect user accounts from unauthorized access to sensitive features, even if a user's session has been compromised.
