Passwordless Sign-In is a modern authentication method that allows users to log in using an email or phone without requiring a password. This enhances security while improving user convenience. Supabase, an open-source Backend-as-a-Service (BaaS), provides seamless authentication, and FlutterFlow, a low-code development platform, integrates with Supabase to enable passwordless authentication in Flutter apps.
Implementation Steps
1. Setting Up Supabase
Create a new project in the Supabase console.
Enable authentication by selecting email or phone as the sign-in method.
Configure the authentication settings to support magic links.
2. Integrating Supabase with FlutterFlow
Create a new project in FlutterFlow.
Enable authentication and select Supabase as the authentication provider.
Configure API keys by adding the Supabase API URL and Anon Key in the settings.
Set up login and entry pages to handle authentication.
3. Configuring Authentication & Deep Linking
Add the necessary authentication URLs from the FlutterFlow project into the Supabase settings.
Set up a deep link for email authentication to redirect users back to the app after login.
4. Implementing Magic Link Authentication
Use Supabase’s
signInWithOtp
function to send a login link to the user’s email.When the user clicks the link, they are automatically authenticated and redirected to the app.
Future signinWithMagicLink(String email) async {
await supabase.auth.signInWithOtp(
email: email,
shouldCreateUser: true,
emailRedirectTo: 'YourDeepLink://YourDeepLink.com/HomePage'
);
}
Benefits of Passwordless Authentication
Enhanced Security – Eliminates the risk of password theft.
Better User Experience – No need to remember passwords.
Seamless Integration – Easily implemented with Supabase and FlutterFlow.
Conclusion
Using Supabase for passwordless authentication in FlutterFlow is a modern, secure, and user-friendly approach to authentication. By leveraging magic links, developers can create a seamless sign-in experience for users while maintaining strong security standards.
