Authentication System Using NEXT_AUTH

In this tutorial, we’ll create a secure authentication system using NextAuth.js and MongoDB for data persistence. This guide is ideal for developers looking to implement route protection, credential-based login, and data management using modern web technologies without social authentication providers.

Technologies Used

• Next.js: A React framework for server-side rendering and static site generation, improving performance and SEO.
• NextAuth.js: A flexible authentication solution for Next.js applications, allowing us to secure routes and handle session management.
• MongoDB: A NoSQL database for storing user information securely.

📌 In This Video:

• Setting up NextAuth.js with custom credentials
• Implementing route protection to restrict unauthorized access
• Storing and managing user data in MongoDB
• Following best practices for secure and scalable authentication

Note: This project is for educational purposes only. Ensure to adhere to security best practices when implementing authentication in production.

Getting Started

Follow these steps to get the project running locally:

1. Clone the repository to your local machine.
2. Navigate to the project directory.
3. Install dependencies by running npm install or yarn install.
4. Set up your MongoDB connection string in an .env file.
5. Start the development server using npm run dev or yarn dev.
6. Access the application in your browser at http://localhost:3000.
