Use when adding session-based login, logout, or protected routes to a Fastify web application. Integrates @auth0/auth0-fastify — use even if the user says "add login to my Fastify app". For Fastify APIs validating Bearer tokens, use auth0-fastify-api instead.
Add authentication to Fastify web applications using @auth0/auth0-fastify.
auth0-quickstart skill firstauth0-react, auth0-vue, or auth0-angular for client-side authauth0-nextjs skill which handles both client and serverauth0-react-native for React Native/Expo@auth0/auth0-fastify-api instead for JWT validation without sessionsCreate .env:
Generate secret: openssl rand -hex 64
Create your Fastify server (server.js):
This automatically creates:
/auth/login - Login endpoint/auth/logout - Logout endpoint/auth/callback - OAuth callbackStart your server:
Visit http://localhost:3000 and test the login flow.
| Mistake | Fix |
|---|---|
| Forgot to add callback URL in Auth0 Dashboard | Add /auth/callback path to Allowed Callback URLs (e.g., http://localhost:3000/auth/callback) |
| Missing or weak SESSION_SECRET | Generate secure 64-char secret with openssl rand -hex 64 and store in .env |
| App created as SPA type in Auth0 | Must be Regular Web Application type for server-side auth |
| Session secret exposed in code | Always use environment variables, never hardcode secrets |
| Wrong appBaseUrl for production | Update APP_BASE_URL to match your production domain |
| Not awaiting fastify.register | Fastify v4+ requires awaiting plugin registration |
