Next.js Lucia Email/Password Auth with Drizzle

Next.js Auth Starter Template

Motivation

Implementing authentication in Next.js, especially Email+Password authentication, can be challenging. NextAuth intentionally limits email password functionality to discourage the use of passwords due to security risks and added complexity. However, in certain projects, clients may require user password authentication. Lucia offers a flexible alternative to NextAuth.js, providing more customization options without compromising on security. This template serves as a starting point for building a Next.js app with Lucia authentication.

Lucia vs. NextAuth.js

Lucia is less opinionated than NextAuth, offering greater flexibility for customization. While Lucia involves more setup, it provides a higher degree of flexibility, making it a suitable choice for projects requiring unique authentication configurations.
