Where their work shows up
SuperTokens argues a specific point: session management is the part teams get wrong, and it is also the part most hosted providers abstract away entirely. Rotating refresh tokens, detecting token theft, and revoking a live session are the mechanics behind that argument. See the SuperTokens profile, the best CIAM for startups ranking, and the authentication guides.
