Set custom authentication per organization

This is an advanced feature that is only available on the Kinde Scale plan. Charges also apply for each organization that uses advanced org features.

You can set different authentication methods for each organization you manage in Kinde. You might want to do this if your customers are businesses that require unique auth setups.
