Wuweido Integrated Auth Service with 80% Less Workload

Developers from Mozongsoft Co. Ltd shared their story with Auth Service when developing their app called Wuweido, which is a professional 3D modeling CAD mobile app. Their story shows how manpower-saving it could be to integrate Auth Service. They did not choose Auth Service arbitrarily but after careful comparison with other similar services. With the help of Huawei technical support, they successfully implemented multiple authentication modes, including mobile number, email address, and mainstream third-party ones encompassing Facebook account and Twitter account by merely calling APIs. The use of Auth Service helped them reduce 80% workload compared with that required for building an authentication system by themselves.
