Introduction

All apps generated with Woz include built-in email login and authentication by default. This allows users to create accounts, sign in securely, and access personalized data within your app. The authentication system manages user accounts, sessions, and secure access to app features, so you do not need to configure authentication manually when building your app.

​
Default Authentication Setup

Every Woz app includes a basic authentication system with the following features:
  • Email-based account registration
  • Secure user login
  • Password authentication
  • User session management
  • Protected access to user-specific data
These features are automatically included when your app is generated.

​
Authentication During Development

While you are editing and testing your app, email confirmation is temporarily disabled. This makes testing easier because you can quickly create accounts and log in without needing to verify an email address each time. This is especially helpful when:
  • Testing user flows
  • Creating multiple test accounts
  • Quickly iterating on features that require login

​
Authentication for Production Apps

Before your app is launched or shared with real users, email confirmation is automatically re-enabled. This ensures that users must verify their email address before accessing the app, which improves security and prevents fake or invalid accounts. With email verification enabled, users will need to:
  • Sign up with their email address
  • Confirm their email through a verification link
  • Log in to access the app
This is standard practice for production applications and helps protect both your app and your users.

​
No Additional Setup Required

Basic authentication works automatically in Woz. You do not need to configure login systems, session management, or account security manually. Once your app is generated, the login and authentication flow is already included and ready to use. If you need more advanced authentication features or custom login flows, you can extend them later as your app evolves.
