About

Auth.js is an open-source authentication solution that integrates with Next.js, Nuxt, Qwik, and other modern JavaScript frameworks to handle user sign-in, session management, and access control.

It supports OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect providers, passwordless email authentication, and passkeys via WebAuthn, and can manage sessions using JSON Web Tokens or database adapters for MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and SQLite.

Firebase Authentication is a backend authentication service that enables applications to sign in users using email and password, third-party identity providers, email links, and phone numbers.

It offers sign-in with services such as Google, Facebook, Apple, and GitHub, provides ready-made UI components and SDKs for web, iOS, Android, and Unity, supports anonymous accounts, and includes phone and multi-factor authentication if used with Identity Platform.
