How it works
Get a reasoned checklist
Each auth item (MFA, roles, audit log, and so on) is included or skipped based on deterministic rules applied to your answers — with a rationale either way.
Build only what's justified
Skip items your MVP doesn't need yet, and add them later once real usage or compliance pressure justifies the cost.

Frequently asked questions
Is this a security audit?
No. It's an early planning checklist for MVP scope, not a substitute for a security or compliance review.
Why does data sensitivity affect the recommendation?
Higher-sensitivity data (payment, health, financial) raises the bar for safeguards like MFA and audit logging — an MVP handling that data can't skip them.
What if my compliance needs change later?
Re-run the checklist. The recommendation is based on your current answers, not a permanent decision — revisit it as your product and regulatory context evolve.
Does this implement authentication for me?
No. It tells you what to build, not how — pair the checklist with an auth provider like Auth0 or Firebase Auth to implement it.
How We Compare
| Feature | MVPHub | Auth0 | Firebase Auth |
|---|---|---|---|
| Minimum-scope recommendation | Included | Not included | Not included |
| No-signup instant result | Included | Not included | Not included |
| Transparent recommendation logic | Included | Not included | Not included |
| Hosted authentication implementation | Not included | Included | Included |
Auth0 and Firebase Auth implement authentication once you know what you need. MVPHub recommends the minimum viable scope from your MVP's requirements; it does not provide the authentication service itself.
