title: Auth0 - Why do they want users to use a WebView over getting Strings from an EditText to authenticate?
body: <p>I'm trying to implement Auth0 into a mobile application. I have used a managed authentication service like AWS cognito before where the SDK lets you get the typed email/password from the edittext to authenticate. However I'm confused about Auth0 because it has a thing called a &quot;Universal Login&quot;.</p>
  <p>On their docs it says</p>
  <pre><code> &quot;Auth0 encourages the use of web authentication via Universal Login 
    rather than native username/password authentication whenever possible.&quot; 
  </code></pre>

  <p>Why do they want users to use a webview over the native get the Strings from the EditTexts?</p>
