Nuxt Auth Utils: Secure, Simple, and Flexible Logins

Many Nuxt apps require user’s to login. For such apps, simple and secure authentication is a must but implementing auth from scratch can be time consuming and challenging. This course provides a comprehensive guide to mastering Nuxt Auth Utils, enabling you to quickly build secure, professional-grade authentication systems in your Nuxt applications without the headaches.

What is Nuxt Auth Utils?

Nuxt Auth Utils is a powerful authentication module for Nuxt 3 that simplifies implementing secure user authentication. Maintained by Nuxt creator Sébastien Chopin (you may know him as Atinux), this module provides an elegant solution for handling authentication flows while maintaining the flexibility developers need for customization.

Key features include:

• Social Logins: Authenticate user identity with popular 3rd party services like Github, Google, and 40+ more
• Hashing Utils: Quickly implement your own email/password system with provided hashing functions. Just bring your own db!
• Cutting Edge Login with Passkeys: Let user’s login with fingerprints, facial recognition, and more with passkeys.
• Cookie-Based Sessions: Secure, stateful authentication that works across all Nuxt rendering modes.
• TypeSafe User Sessions: Full TypeScript support for user and session data.
• Server-Side Protection: Comprehensive tools for securing both routes and API endpoints.

Why Take This Course?

Authentication is the gateway to your application, making it one of the most critical components to implement correctly. This course offers practical, hands-on lessons that will help you:

• Master both client and server-side authentication patterns in Nuxt 3.
• Implement modern authentication methods including social logins and passkeys.
• Properly secure your application with middleware and server-side validations.
• Understand authentication fundamentals that apply beyond just Nuxt Auth Utils.

By the end of this course, you'll confidently implement various authentication strategies, properly protect sensitive routes and data, and follow best practices that ensure your users' security.

What You'll Learn

Authentication Fundamentals

Discover the building blocks of modern authentication systems. We'll explore the difference between authentication and authorization, understand how cookie-based sessions work, and compare different authentication approaches like stateful vs. stateless (JWT) authentication.

Social Login Implementation

Step-by-step guidance on implementing GitHub authentication in your Nuxt application. From initializing login in the UI, to callback setup, you’ll learn everything you need to know.

Email/Password Authentication

Build a simple but secure email/password authentication system using Nuxt Auth Utils' hashing helpers. You'll implement secure password hashing, verification, and user session management with KV data storage via the built in useStorage function.

Cutting-Edge Passkey Support

Future-proof your authentication with passkeys - a passwordless authentication method gaining rapid adoption. Learn how to register and authenticate users with passkeys while preventing common security issues like replay attacks.

TypeSafe Session Management

Take your authentication to the next level with complete TypeScript integration. We'll show you how to properly type your user sessions, secure data, and maintain type safety throughout your authentication flows.

Route and API Protection

Master both client and server-side protection strategies. From route middleware to API endpoint security, you'll learn comprehensive techniques for keeping user data secure throughout your application.
