SuperTokens
SuperTokens is an open-source authentication solution offering secure login, session management, and user authentication for modern web and mobile applications.
What is SuperTokens
SuperTokens is an authentication framework that handles user login, registration, and session management for your applications. It provides ready-made solutions for email password login, social login through providers like Google and Facebook, passwordless authentication using magic links or one-time codes, and more.
The tool uses a unique design where your backend sits between your frontend and SuperTokens. This gives you more control to customize the authentication process while keeping it secure. SuperTokens manages the complex security tasks automatically, including protecting against common attacks and handling session tokens.
You can choose to run SuperTokens on your own servers completely free, or use their managed cloud service that handles all the technical work for you.
How to Use SuperTokens
Getting started with SuperTokens is simple and takes about 15 minutes:
Choose your authentication method from the options: email password, social login, passwordless, or a combination of these methods.
Install the SuperTokens library for your programming language using npm, pip, or go get depending on your tech stack.
Set up the backend by adding a few lines of code to connect your server to SuperTokens and configure your chosen authentication recipe.
Add the frontend component by importing the pre-built login UI, or create your custom design using the provided functions.
Configure your database connection if self-hosting, or use the managed service URL for quick testing and deployment.
Test the authentication flow by running your app and trying to sign up, log in, and access protected pages.
The documentation provides step-by-step guides for popular frameworks like Next.js, React, Express, and FastAPI.
