Everything You Need to Know
What is XWMS?
XWMS is a software company that offers secure login APIs and also builds custom web applications for businesses. Whether you need a secure authentication layer or a complete software system, XWMS delivers.
What are the ways to work with XWMS?
There are two main ways to use XWMS. The first is by creating a paid account to use the XWMS login API. The second is by contacting us directly through the contact page if you need a full application built.
Is XWMS a one-person project?
Although I work with many people in a broader ecosystem, the XWMS project itself is maintained and built by one person.
What does the XWMS login API do?
The XWMS login API allows users to securely authenticate into your application through XWMS. It uses a custom hashing method that ensures only the XWMS system can decrypt the database — it’s like a private language only XWMS can understand.
Can I manage users from XWMS?
No, you cannot directly manage users from the XWMS dashboard. You can request access to user data or become verified via XWMS to bypass consent. However, you can manage users inside your own app after they’ve logged in.
Is the XWMS API open source?
The API itself is not open source, but the official integration package is. You can find it here: https://github.com/X-WMS/xwms-package
What technologies are supported?
The API is written in PHP, but it is fully accessible from any language or environment that supports HTTP requests.
Does XWMS support mobile apps?
Currently, you cannot directly integrate mobile apps with XWMS. However, you can use web login as a workaround.
Which authentication methods are supported?
XWMS supports email and password, 2FA, OAuth, backup codes, second email, passkeys, and more.
How is pricing determined?
Pricing is monthly and depends on the features included in your selected plan.
Is there any support available?
If you have a paid account, you get access to 24/7 live chat support. Free users can submit tickets via their dashboard, but responses take longer.
How long does development take?
It depends on the project size. For an average project, we can deliver a full application in as little as two weeks. Larger, complex projects may take several months.
Is there documentation?
Documentation is currently in progress and will be available soon at https://docs.xwms.nl. You can also find help via the GitHub repository.
Are there patch notes?
At the moment, there is no dedicated patch notes page, but that may be introduced in the future.
