What is App ID?
IBM Cloud™ App ID helps developers to easily add authentication to their web and mobile apps with few lines of code, and it helps them secure their cloud-native applications and services on IBM Cloud. App ID also helps manage user-specific data that developers can use to build personalized app experiences.
App ID features
Authentication
Add email/password login, social login, or enterprise login to your apps with APIs, SDKs, pre-built UIs or your own branded UIs.
User repository

User profiles
Store user preferences and data, which you can leverage to build personalized app experiences.
