What is the best authentication option for a Next.js app?
Last edited: October 27, 2026
For most Next.js apps, Supabase Auth is a strong choice.
Supabase Auth provides:
- Pre-built UI components that handle sign in, sign up, OAuth, and more.
- Email and password, magic links, phone sign-in, and more.
- Social sign-in with multiple OAuth providers.
- Multi-factor authentication with TOTP and phone.
- Server-side sessions for the App Router through the
@supabase/ssrpackage. - Third-party authentication providers if you already have a managed identity provider.
To get started, see the Quickstart or the Next.js and Supabase Starter Kit, which includes a live demo of the app in action.
