Stop building password systems. Stop hashing passwords. Stop managing email resets.
Whop handles this for you.
You need two packages:
- iron-session for encrypted cookies.
- zod for validation.
The setup uses a few files:
- Modules in lib.
- Route handlers in app/api/auth.
- A proxy.ts file.
The flow works like this:
- User clicks login.
- App generates a PKCE verifier and nonce.
- Whop manages consent.
- App trades the code for a token.
- App saves the profile in an encrypted cookie.
Security is a priority:
- All steps run on the server.
- Tokens never hit the browser.
- Middleware blocks unauthenticated users.
- A helper function protects server components.
One tip: Use a nonce. OpenID Connect requires it. Missing this breaks the flow.
Moving to production is fast:
- Create a production Whop app.
- Update your keys.
- Set the sandbox variable to false.
