Howdy folks,
Today, I’m delighted to announce the general availability of the Identity Experience Framework and custom policy support in Azure Active Directory B2C! Now you have the ability to use the Identity Experience Framework as your identity orchestration platform—so you can craft your own identity journeys that interoperate with multiple identity providers and data sources.
Today’s release of custom policies in Azure Active Directory B2C gives you the ultimate flexibility. You can now create your own UX patterns, so you can deliver on highly tailored requirements unique to your apps, your user base, and your cross-organization relationships. For those already experienced with Azure AD B2C, read Get started with custom policies in Azure Active Directory B2C.
Azure Active Directory B2C pre-designed user flows are being used by tens of thousands of customers to provide fully branded experiences to sign-in to apps and secure APIs using standard sign-in, sign-up, password reset, and profile edit UX patterns.
