I want to have a login dialog with Auth0 like this:
How can I write a javascript code to have this dialog? Is it possible to write the code using AuthenticationClient?
If you're looking to build a custom UI, you can use the Auth0js library. There is an example here of the Auth0js (select the Custom UI tab). Auth0js is the SDK used for interacting with the Auth0 Authentication API. What kind of application are you building or have you built that you want to integrate Auth0 into?
I'd also suggest reading up on Universal Login and Lock vs Custom UI. Feel free to checkout https://community.auth0.com/ you may find some threads there helpful, others who have implemented similar systems or even have better luck getting your questions answered if they are Auth0 specific.
Cheers!

I have an application with (nuxt js using nuxt-auth) with local authentication so far (later I want to add git and google auth).
Now I need to add authentication to invoke other services / API (like google cloud rest API, payment system, youtube API, etc...)
The question is: the user is authenticated only once (during login to the application.) but each of these 3rd party APIs has its own authentication.
How to implement multiple authentications. (I read the documentation and google for the entire day but there is no clear answer).
As of today, it looks like it is not doable (people are needed on this module): https://github.com/nuxt-community/auth-module/issues/889
So, you would need to make it manually by plugging the APIs yourself.
Answer to your latest question~comment
Nuxt is indeed nice with some of it's modules (but you can totally dislike it, no problem :D).
First thing that you need to know, is that this project (nuxt-auth) is not the biggest one, #pooya is doing his best but he is on a lot of projects, so he cannot give all of his love to it. Then, you also need to understand that it's working great but it's still in a decent beta state with a lot of missing features, needed documentation and a lot of small things to make it an all rounded solid top notch solution.
That do not mean that you should not use it, I'm just saying that this module do have some limitations. Hence, the fact that it is not supporting a whole lot of OAuth solutions in a clear + simple + flexible way. And some breaking changes may be introduced in future updates.
The module is aimed towards having an OAuth solution to block the content of your website behind it (in my opinion). It means that you will usually use a single login solution and then, being able to have access to your app. I don't think that it's a viable multi-OAuth solution (yet).
Some services don't even need to use a solution like this. Stripe for example, should not be handled on the frontend but communicate with a backend for sensitive variables and just send minimal info thanks to Stripe Elements.
That said, the most common solution is JWT or OAuth2, and you could totally have a backend service or service like Okta, Auth0 or alike, do the heavy lifting by allowing simple logins to providers (Github, Google etc...).
To sum up, you do connect to this backend/service thanks to nuxt-auth, the service itself does the provider connection and you get the best of both worlds while still connected in a secure way through your initial nuxt-auth entry point login.
Or you could try to reach the community on Discord, see if somebody knows how to do it. Or even try to read the source code to see if it is currently feasable.
And that's my 2cts.
I'm new to mobile development and have been looking for a way to retrieve basic email information from simple POP3/SMTP email servers.
I've seen many posts on how to send email using numerous Cordova plugins, etc., but I'm simply trying to retrieve email information for various listing and analysis purposes.
Is this even possible?
Thanks for the help and suggestions on where to start.
Cordova does not have built-in functionality for POP3/SMTP access. As inside your codova app you are running in the javascript/webview sandbox, you don't have socket access, so you can't implement this kind of functionality there.
This leaves you no choice but to implement a Cordova Plugin. You are in Objective-C land now, but unfortunately there aren't any convenient classes in the standard framework for accessing POP3/SMTP. Your best bet is using a library like MailCore.
Details on how to implement a Cordova Plugin (as well as passing the relevant email data from and to your javascript layer) are outside the scope of a simple StackOverflow answer, but the process is (fortunately) well documented.
Is there a recommended "Polymer way" to do user authentication?
This question includes both the technical pieces AND the UX.
A soup-to-nuts example (and/or tutorial) of a UX for doing user auth would be fantastic.
Note: The Polymer Starter Kit does not contain any authentication UX examples.
In this question...
"UX" means:
The COMPLETE "user-experience" involved in signing up for a new account, logging in and handling forgotten user id or password. For example, a typical landing page for a typical web app will usually have some buttons in the upper right corner for signing up for a new account and logging in. What happens when someone clicks those buttons and how to handle the entire flow would be a very useful example for Polymer developers given that functionality is necessary for most modern web apps. I would love to not have to create my own amateurish "home-brew" concoction from scratch for a solution but, instead, to have something relatively professional and generic I can "plug-n-play" into my app and modify only if/when necessary.
You need to build a custom element with all the relevant styles, templates and scripts to express the UX.
I want to make a list of goals for my family and I that we are all going to follow.
I generally know how I'll implement the list part. Just a todo-list-esque app where you only cross or uncross things off on it. I haven't decided with what I'll implement that part, mostly because I'm not sure how the multi-user part will go.
I figured each person can log in with Facebook or Twitter, and based on your login you'd be able to see what you've checked off.
I've never built a login before, or built based off of a logged in user.
Which web frameworks would be best for this? How would you implement this?
Since you said you know Javascript well, it sounds like you're best bet is to just use Node.js and a simple web framework like Express.js.
This will allow you to write you server-side code in Javascript, which should make the process simpler for you.
For handling authentication / etc., if you're looking for a stupid-simple authentication library you can use express-stormpath -- it supports social login as well as username/password stuff.
If you're looking for a smaller solution, you can use something like passport.js and use the third-party plugins for social login.
Is it possible to have the user "like" your page during the registration process using the Facebook Registration/log in function on my website. I know you can have custom fields, but I don't see anything that talks about this. Please tell me where I can find this information. I don't want to be repetitive on my website by having them do this twice.
Authenticating an application is not the same as liking an application. So they are two distinct things. You can create something called a fan-gate to prevent the user from seeing the good stuff if they don't like your app. Google fan-gate and you will see some examples of how to implement.
