What’s new in Convex Auth v2?

Convex Auth v2 is the supported path forward for applications that need authentication on the Convex platform. It was built from the ground up using components and security best-practices. It does not attempt to wrap or depend on any other third-party auth library or framework.

At launch, it actually has fewer features than Convex Auth v1, so some applications may not be able to migrate right away.

New features/behavior:

• Username + passkey sign-in method
  • Including passkey management (list/add/remove)
• Built-in email verification with the email + password sign-in method
  • Support for changing and adding verified email addresses
• No need for managing private/public keys for token signing
• Auth data encapsulated in components, not spread in your application tables
• Dedicated React client support for each sign-in method
• Type safety from the backend to the frontend
