FAQPage Schema

How do I set up authentication in a Convex app?▼

Convex authentication requires selecting a provider, configuring `convex/auth.config.ts`, setting environment variables, and integrating the frontend provider to establish secure user sessions and access control.

Can I use Clerk or Auth0 for Convex authentication?▼

Yes, Convex supports Clerk, Auth0, WorkOS AuthKit, Convex Auth, and custom JWT providers, allowing you to select and wire your preferred identity provider across both backend and frontend environments.

What is the best way to configure protected routes with Convex?▼

Configuring protected Convex routes involves validating auth config and environment variables to ensure the backend correctly restricts access, verifying authenticated state across both local development and production deployment environments.

Does Convex authentication work the same in local and production deployments?▼

Convex authentication functions across local and production deployments by validating environment variables and auth configuration, ensuring secure authenticated access and protected backend routes are maintained in both environments.

Why is my custom JWT authentication not working with Convex?▼

Custom JWT Convex authentication failures typically stem from invalid environment variables or misconfigured `convex/auth.config.ts`, requiring validation steps to verify backend wiring and frontend provider integration for secure access.

Do I need to manually configure environment variables for Convex auth?▼

Yes, configuring environment variables is required for Convex authentication to successfully wire backend and frontend providers, validate authenticated states, and ensure secure access control across local and production deployments.
