# Customer identity and access management

PingFederate empowers administrators to deliver a secure and easy-to-use customer authentication, registration, and profile management solution.

This solution leverages the HTML Form Adapter to offer users the options to authenticate through third-party identity providers, self-register as part of the sign-on experience, and manage their accounts through a self-service profile management page. The registration and profile management pages are fully customizable and localizable, which allows administrators to present a consistent branding experience based on the needs of the users and the organizations.
