How to Enable PKCE for Custom Social Connections

Connections
Sep 10, 2025
Overview
An OAuth2 Social Identity Provider requires the use of Authorization Code + PKCE, and Auth0 Custom Social Connections do not seem to offer that configuration option.

 
Applies To
  • Custom Social Connections
  • PKCE
  • OAuth2 Social Identity Provider
Solution
We have an undocumented option to support PKCE with custom OAuth2 connections, where the value can be set using the Management API2.

options.pkce_enabled: true


Use this with the upstream IDP.
