  • Supabase Auth: Identity Linking, Hooks, and HaveIBeenPwned integration

    If you’ve been following us from the start, you will know that Supabase Auth started by forking Netlify’s GoTrue server. A lot has changed since then and we’ve diverged from the upstream repository. At this stage it makes sense to rename the project to something else (cues drumroll) — Auth.

  • Ask HN: Ok to only allow Google/Apple/FB login for mobile app?
    1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 29 Aug 2022
    To answer point 1: Maybe to start out, but in the long run, having only social logins may cause your app to lose a segment of the market (I don't know how much). If you're fine with that, then by all means only support social logins.

    However, I strongly suggest having it (or some way for someone not to use a social provider) if you want to have as many users a possible.

    Personally, I don't have a google account, I'm wary to use my Apple account for non-Apple sites, and I don't have facebook, instagram, new gen z hotness app, etc... And I can confidently say I am not alone in choosing to use apps which don't require a social login.

    At the end of the day though, password auth isn't a non-trivial problem. It is a solved problem of which there are numerous articles/papers and many libraries for most languages/frameworks. For example, the Phoenix framework for Elixir has a built in command which scaffolds auth, and it works really well (I have used it in a personal project): https://hexdocs.pm/phoenix/mix_phx_gen_auth.html. For JS, you can use something like passport: https://www.passportjs.org/packages/passport-local/. If you want a separate service entirely (even though it would be more complex to have a separate service to start out), there is GoTrue: https://github.com/netlify/gotrue. These are just a few suggestions of tech I have come across. There is so much more out there, I encourage you to research options to see what may be a best fit.

    If you're worried about password auth, maybe give one time passwords a try. They don't require any password reset flow, and are generally secure when implemented correctly. As an example, I don't have a password for my craigslist account. Every time I want to login, I can choose to get a magic link/otp which gets exchanged for a session. In practice (and this is my personal opinion), I prefer magic links. They are one time, hard to guess (again dependent on implementation), can be time limited, and most likely won't be intercepted in transit (though it could be in a rare circumstance).

    To answer point 2: yes.

    If your app is to order things (I use things in a general term) it sounds like eCommerce. And if you're in eCommerce, you better have a way for a user to track what they have ordered and how much they have paid for it at a minimum. Otherwise, your site may come across as a scam, even though it uses Stripe. Sketchy sites can use Stripe to get your money (albeit, it'll be a one time payment).

    In conclusion, auth for your application seems crucial. Email/password auth is still relevant for applications. While not necessary for an MVP, there is a segment of the market you will lose if you don't have an email/password option, or even an email/OTP/magic link option (I don't know how much, really going off an educated guess).

    Best of wishes in building your app! I genuinely hope it is successful and safe for people to leverage :)

  • I got tired of fussing with auth, so I built a thing for building OAuth login in under 60 seconds.

    Use a self-hostable auth microservice like gotrue or authelia, ORY's suite of products, etc.
