Implementing authentication is essential: you need to ensure users are properly identified when using your product. This allows each user to access only their own data, modify only what belongs to their account, and be limited in functionality based on their subscription level. We'll use Supabase to handle authentication, as it provides everything you need to manage key user flows like sign-up, sign-in, password resets, frontend route protection, and backend access control. In this first lesson, we’ll take a high-level look at how authentication works with Supabase.

Learn how to implement comprehensive authentication flows in your app using Supabase, including sign up, sign in, password reset, and protecting both frontend pages and backend API routes.
