Clerk Authentication

Scale your application with confidence while ensuring robust security and user experience with our built-in Clerk integration. This versatile solution leverages comprehensive security features to safeguard user data and applications, even as your user base grows.

You're free to add (or remove) any of the methods supported by Clerk's Authentication.

Getting Started

To get started with Clerk Authentication, you'll need a Clerk account. If you don't have one yet, you can sign up at https://clerk.com.

Once you have a Clerk account, follow these steps:

• Set Up Your Project in Clerk: Create a new project in your Clerk account and configure your desired authentication settings.
• Retrieve Clerk API Credentials: In your Clerk project settings, you'll find API credentials that you'll need to integrate authentication into your application.

How it Works

1. User Login: When a user attempts to log in, the application redirects the user to the Clerk login page. The user enters their credentials, and Clerk handles the authentication process.
2. User Logout: When a user logs out, the application sends a request to the Clerk server to clear the session token and remove the user's authentication status.
