Get Started with Next Identity Authentication

The Get Started component is a guided onboarding experience that helps you integrate Next Identity authentication into your application in minutes.

Based on your platform and technical experience, you can choose one of three setup paths:

• Website builders (Webflow or Wix)

• AI coding assistants (Lovable, Bolt, Cursor)

• Custom development (JavaScript, OIDC, or backend SDKs)

Each path provides step-by-step instructions, ready-to-use code, and built-in testing.

Best for: No-code and low-code websites

This option guides you through adding authentication to Webflow or Wix using copy-and-paste scripts and platform-specific instructions.

You will:

• Configure login, signup, and logout redirect URLs

• Add the Next Identity SDK to your site

• Enable login and signup buttons

• Protect pages and content

• Test the integration end-to-end

No server-side code required.

Best for: Developers using AI-assisted coding

This option generates a single AI-ready prompt that you paste into your coding assistant.

The prompt will:

• Install and initialize the Next Identity SDK

• Create login and signup actions

• Generate an authentication guard

• Provide optional route protection

You stay in control — the guard is created but not automatically applied.

Best for: Custom or production-grade applications

Choose from three integration methods:

• JavaScript SDK (Recommended)
  For browser-based apps and SPAs.

• OIDC Standard Flow
  For custom implementations or unsupported languages.

• Backend SDKs (PHP, Python)
  For server-rendered or backend-driven applications.

Each method includes guided instructions, code examples, and testing tools.

All setup paths require redirect URLs to control where users go after authentication:

• Login / Signup Redirect URL

• Logout Redirect URL

These URLs are validated automatically and saved to your client configuration.

If a domain is detected from your redirect URLs, Next Identity can automatically create a matching authentication theme.

This step:

• Applies your brand colors, fonts, and logos

• Customizes hosted login and signup screens

• Can be skipped or adjusted later

Each setup path includes a built-in test step that allows you to:

• Verify login and signup

• Confirm logout behavior

• Validate redirect URLs

• Ensure protected content works as expected

After completing the setup:

• Your application is authenticated with Next Identity

• You can further customize:

  • Journeys

  • Security features (MFA, access restrictions)

  • Branding and themes

• You can promote changes safely across environments

• Integrate Next Identity with an application

• Configure Journeys in the Console

• Authentication Methods

• Configure MFA and authenticator apps
