Overview
GenesisAuth gives your clients and team their own login to any published Taskade Genesis app, with no backend to set up and no passwords for you to manage. Ask Taskade EVE to add it to a page and publish. Visitors sign in with their email, and each one becomes a customer your app can recognize. A field-service business can hand each customer a portal that shows only their own jobs and invoices.
TL;DR: GenesisAuth adds a secure email sign-in to any Taskade Genesis app so clients, members, or staff sign in and see only their own records. Visitors sign in on your app's own URL, with no Taskade account needed. Each person who signs in becomes an App User your app can personalize for. GenesisAuth is in beta on the Business plan and up.
When to use GenesisAuth
- Client portals that show a customer their own records
- Member-only dashboards, course hubs, or community pages
- Internal tools where access is gated to your team
- Any Taskade Genesis app that needs to know who is visiting
How people sign in
GenesisAuth gives every published Taskade Genesis app its own secure email sign-in. Visitors sign up or sign in with their email address, with no Taskade account required.
| What you get | What it means for you |
|---|---|
| Email sign-in and sign-up | Visitors sign in on your app's own URL, no Taskade account needed |
| Managed sessions | Short, secure sessions you can revoke any time |
| No backend to run | Taskade handles accounts, sessions, and signing keys for you |
| App Users built in | Every sign-in becomes a person you can tag, scope, or revoke |
Looking for company single sign-on for your own team members inside Taskade? That is workspace SSO on Enterprise, separate from GenesisAuth.
Add GenesisAuth to a page
- Open your app in Taskade Genesis and ask Taskade EVE: "Add GenesisAuth to the homepage."
- Set up the sign-in in the right-hand panel. You can adjust it later.
- Publish the app. New visitors see the sign-in screen, returning visitors skip straight through.
What a new visitor sees on a gated page (returning visitors skip straight through). You manage sign-in from the panel Taskade EVE sets up when you ask it to add GenesisAuth:
┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ yourapp.com › Sign in │
├────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ [ Acme Client Portal ] │
│ Sign in to continue │

│ Email │

│ └──────────────────────────────────────────┘ │
│ [ Sign in / Sign up ] │

│ Short, secure session · Taskade manages sign-in │
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
New visitors sign up with their email; returning visitors sign straight in.
App Users
Every person who signs in becomes an App User (beta). Manage them from App Settings → App Users: invite people ahead of time, see who's logged in recently, or revoke access. See App Users for the full walkthrough.
Personalize by signed-in user
Ask Taskade EVE to show each visitor only their own data, and it builds the rules for you. A solo realtor running an inbound CRM can say "show this person only the listings tied to their email." A course hub can gate lessons to paid members. It all runs against the same Taskade Projects that power your team view, so the customer portal and your internal dashboard stay in sync. This is Workspace DNA at work: your Projects are the memory, your app is the view.
From sign-in to a personalized view. GenesisAuth confirms who the person is, keeps them signed in for a short, secure session, turns them into an App User, and shows them only their own records:
Security
- Every sign-in uses short-lived sessions, so stolen links stop working fast
- Taskade rotates signing keys on a fixed schedule, no action required on your end
- You never store or see raw passwords
- Revoking an App User cuts their access immediately
Frequently asked questions
How do the people who use my app sign in?
The people who use your published Taskade Genesis app sign in with their email address on your app's own URL. They create an account or sign in, and you never run an auth server or manage passwords. Each person who signs in becomes an App User your app can personalize for. GenesisAuth is in beta on the Business plan and up. Company single sign-on for your own Taskade team members is a separate feature, workspace SSO on Enterprise.
Do my app's users need a Taskade account to sign in?
No. App Users are separate from your Taskade workspace members. Someone signing in to your app with their email does not need a Taskade account or a seat on your plan. They become an App User of that app, and your app shows each person only their own records.
