Authentication

Authentication is the process of verifying the identity of a user. This is a critical part of any application that requires users to log in or access protected resources. TanStack Start provides the necessary full-stack APIs to implement authentication in your application.

TanStack Start is designed to work with any authentication provider, so if you already have an authentication provider or strategy in mind, you can use either find an existing example or implement your own authentication logic using the full-stack APIs provided by TanStack Start.
