Login with a password

Next Identity supports a range of secure and user-friendly authentication methods to ensure the safety and convenience of your customers. Choose from various traditional authentication techniques to best fit your application's needs.

Verify and authenticate customers using their mobile phone number and password. This traditional method ensures a secure login process by leveraging something the user has (their mobile phone) and something the user knows (their password).

Authenticate customers using their email address and a password. To help enforce secure password practices, integrate with Password Guard. This method is straightforward and widely accepted, balancing security and user convenience.

Note: For enhanced security, we recommend using OTP or enabling passwordless authentication (passkeys).
