Authentication Configuration

Makerkit supports three different authentication methods:

1. Password - the traditional email/password method, set to true by default
2. Magic Link - magic link, set to false by default
3. oAuth - oAuth providers, by default we set Google Auth

The authentication configuration is set at apps/web/config/auth.config.ts.

The recommendation is to not update this directly - instead, please define the environment variables below and override the default behavior. The configuration is validated using the Zod schema AuthConfigSchema, so if something is off, you'll see the errors.

const authConfig = AuthConfigSchema.parse({
  // NB: This is a public key, so it's safe to expose.
  // Copy the value from the Supabase Dashboard.
  captchaTokenSiteKey: process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_CAPTCHA_SITE_KEY,
 
  // whether to display the terms checkbox during sign-up
  displayTermsCheckbox:
    process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_DISPLAY_TERMS_AND_CONDITIONS_CHECKBOX === 'true',
 
  // NB: Enable the providers below in the Supabase Console
  // in your production project
  providers: {
    password: process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_AUTH_PASSWORD === 'true',
    magicLink: process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_AUTH_MAGIC_LINK === 'true',
    oAuth: ['google'],
  },
} satisfies z.infer<typeof AuthConfigSchema>);

For example, if you wanted to switch from password auth to magic link, you'd set the below variables:

NEXT_PUBLIC_AUTH_PASSWORD=false
NEXT_PUBLIC_AUTH_MAGIC_LINK=true

Third Party Providers

To display third-party providers in the UI, you need to set the oAuth array to include the provider you want to display. The default is Google.

providers: {
  oAuth: ['google'],
}

The configuration is done on Supabase's side - not on Makerkit's side.

Third Party providers need to be configured, managed and enabled fully on the provider's and Supabase's side. Makerkit does not need any configuration (beyond setting the provider to be displayed in the UI).

Please read Supabase's documentation on how to set up third-party providers.

For local development, also check out Supabase's documentation on how to set up OAuth providers locally.

Password Requirements

To set the password requirements, you can set the following environment variables:

NEXT_PUBLIC_PASSWORD_REQUIRE_UPPERCASE=true
NEXT_PUBLIC_PASSWORD_REQUIRE_NUMBERS=true
NEXT_PUBLIC_PASSWORD_REQUIRE_SPECIAL_CHARS=true

The above will enforce the following rules:

1. At least one uppercase letter
2. At least one number
3. At least one special character

Displaying Terms and Conditions

To display the terms and conditions checkbox during sign-up, set the following environment variable:

NEXT_PUBLIC_DISPLAY_TERMS_AND_CONDITIONS_CHECKBOX=true

This is off by default.
