Overview
Authentication Providers in NextAuth.js are services that can be used to sign in a user.
There are four ways a user can be signed in:
- Using a built-in OAuth Provider (e.g Github, Twitter, Google, etc...)
- Using a custom OAuth Provider
- Using Email
- Using Credentials
note
NextAuth.js is designed to work with any OAuth service, it supports OAuth 1.0, 1.0A, 2.0 and OpenID Connect (OIDC) and has built-in support for most popular sign-in services.
