Migrating Auth0 to MojoAuth: A 60-Day Passwordless Runbook

Teams move from Auth0 to MojoAuth for two reasons Compass ranked in 2026: native passkeys, and published MAU pricing that scales without Auth0's invoice shape. MojoAuth is passwordless-native. This is a full CIAM move, not an SSO peel. If the bill is Enterprise Connections only, use Auth0 to SSOJet instead.

Verify before you act. Auth0 hash export is plan-gated and often a support ticket. WebAuthn credentials are bound to RP-ID and origin and cannot be transferred. Users re-enroll passkeys. Confirm both facts against live Auth0 and MojoAuth docs before you brief the board. Profiles last verified 19 August 2026.

Phase 1, Discovery, export path, and RP-ID plan (10 days)

Inventory Actions, Rules, Hooks, custom DB connections, Organizations, social providers, and every claim the app reads from tokens. Migration time tracks Action complexity and the hash-export path, not MAU. Skipping this inventory is how 60-day plans become 120-day plans.

Credential path. If you can export bcrypt hashes, plan bulk import. If you cannot, plan just-in-time migration on next successful login, with a longer dual-run.

RP-ID. Set MojoAuth RP-ID to the apex you will keep in production. app.example.com as RP-ID will break www. See passkeys in Next.js and WebAuthn Level 3.

Do not pick Descope for this job. Descope is identity orchestration. Passkeys there are a Flow block. Compass scores MojoAuth 5/5 and Descope 3/5 on that axis.

Phase 2, Stand up MojoAuth and rebuild the login journey (14 days)

Provision MojoAuth in a staging project that will not share an RP-ID with production Auth0. Enable passkeys, magic links, and OTP as first-class methods, not as optional extras. Rebuild social providers. Map Organizations if you use them. The goal this phase is a login journey you can dual-run, not a pixel-perfect theme.

Rebuild Actions as MojoAuth hooks or application code. There is no Actions runtime. That rewrite is the cost. Start with post-login claims. Leave edge-case Actions for dual-run.

Recovery cannot be "email magic link only" if the account is otherwise passkey-only. Design recovery on purpose. See account recovery.

Phase 3, User import and credential strategy (14 days)

Bulk-import identifiers and hashes if you have them. JIT-verify if you do not. MFA TOTP secrets follow the same export limits as hashes. Assume re-enrollment unless export is confirmed in writing.

Passkeys: import nothing. Plan the enrollment prompt on first login after cutover. Conditional UI on by default is why you picked MojoAuth.

Phase 4, Dual-run, passkey enrollment, and validation (14 days)

Shadow-read tokens in staging. Measure passkey offer rate and success rate, not just "WebAuthn works." Compass's whole point of this destination is enrollment, not protocol.

Keep Auth0 as fallback login for the dual-run window. Do not dual-write passwords.

Phase 5, Cutover and Auth0 decommission (8 days)

Point production at MojoAuth. Force re-auth. Watch support for recovery tickets. Disable Auth0 Applications only after the long tail of JIT users drains, if you used JIT.
