How to activate authentication in your app

Authentication

Authentication lets your readers create an account and sign in to your app. They get a profile, and you see who they are in your back office.

Install Authentication

In the Extensions Store, search for Authentication… It's free with the Pro plan, and available from the Premium plan. Click Add.

Your app gets a Profile section, and a padlock on every section: it's now private, so readers sign in to open it.

In Community, Public/Private, you can open your app again, or keep only some sections private.

Registration process

In Settings, Registration process, readers can sign up in your app, unless you switch this off.

Allow access without signing up, and your login screen gets a Skip button.

Force email validation, and readers confirm their address before signing in. Then save.

Login screen

Your login screen is the Login box, under Other sections in Structure.

Template 2 shows the login form right away… under your title, add a baseline… and a background image.

Profile

In User profile, choose what profiles show: a photo, and links to social networks… and the fields readers fill in: public for everyone, private for the reader, or invisible, for you only.

Facebook, X and Apple

Readers can also sign in with Facebook or X: switch them on here, with the keys of your developer accounts. Once one of them is set up, Sign in with Apple becomes available.

Sign up in the app

In your app, readers now see this screen. To create an account, they tap Sign up… enter their name, their email and a password… and their profile is ready.

Manage your users

In Community, User list, you see every account, with its last login.

Open one to edit it or delete it.

Add an account yourself… or import a list from a CSV file.

Publish

Your settings reach your app once you publish it, with Publish my project.
