I would like to raise an important concern regarding the current authentication system.

Most professional software platforms, including banks, financial institutions, government portals, and enterprise applications, allow users to access their dashboards using a secure User ID and Password login system. Even government organizations such as the West Bengal State Electricity Distribution Company Limited (WBSEDCL) provide dashboard access through standard username and password authentication.

However, your platform currently relies on Heracles Authentication as the primary login method, without providing developers the option to implement a traditional User ID and Password login. In my opinion, this approach is restrictive and makes enterprise software appear less professional, especially for organizations that require familiar authentication methods for employees, administrators, and customers.

As software developers, we invest significant time, effort, and financial resources into building enterprise-grade applications using your AI services. Many of these projects involve substantial investments, and it becomes difficult when the authentication flow is limited to a single mandatory method.

I respectfully request that you introduce an option allowing developers to implement a standard User ID and Password authentication system without requiring Heracles Authentication. This would provide greater flexibility and make your platform more suitable for professional software development, particularly for banking, fintech, government, and other enterprise applications.

Providing developers with multiple authentication options would improve usability, increase adoption, and better meet the requirements of real-world enterprise software.

Thank you for considering this feedback. I hope you will introduce this feature in a future update.

Hello,

Thank you for sharing this detailed feedback. I understand why having a traditional User ID and Password option would feel important for enterprise, banking, fintech, government, and internal business applications.

At the moment, Hercules does not offer a separate developer-controlled username and password authentication option in the way you described.

We really appreciate you taking the time to explain the use case and why it matters for professional software development.

Best,
Crystal
The Hercules Team

Hello Nabab,

We already support email and password login, and you can enable it alongside (or instead of) social sign-in methods.

To set it up:

  1. Go to Branding & SEO → Customize Auth Portal.
  2. Under Sign-in Methods, turn on Email and password.
  3. Save your changes.

Your users will then see a “Continue with email & password” option on your Auth Portal. You can also toggle other methods (Google, Apple, etc.) on or off there, so you can show only email and password if you prefer.

If this doesn’t fit your needs, can you let us know more details about the type of username password setup you are looking for?

Hello, can you let us know why email + password auth doesn’t work for you? Is there reasons like privacy, more control or anything else?

Thank you for the feedback. We are building id + password login and expect to have it ready in the next week or two.
