Convex Auth
Convex Auth is a library for implementing authentication directly within your Convex backend. This allows you to authenticate users without needing an authentication service or even a hosting server. Your application can be a React web app served from a CDN or a React Native mobile app.
Get Started
To start a new project from scratch with Convex and Convex Auth, run:
npm create convex@latest
and choose React (Vite) and Convex Auth.
To add Convex Auth to an existing project, follow the full setup guide.
Overview
Convex Auth enables you to implement the following authentication methods:
- Magic Links & OTPs - send a link or code via email
- OAuth - sign in with Github / Google / Apple etc.
- Passwords - including password reset flow and optional email verification
The library doesn't come with UI components, but you can copy code from the docs and example repo to quickly build a UI in React.
Learn more in the Convex Auth docs.
