User Logins & Accounts

This is your app's front door and security system for users. It lets people sign up, log in with a username and password, and log out.

Simple Protection Controls

Instead of building a complicated login system from scratch, Databutton provides one ready to go. You'll see simple toggles or shield icons 🛡️ next to your app's pages or backend functions. With a click, you can decide:

• "This page needs a login" - Protected content for authenticated users only

• "This feature is for logged-in users only" - Secure functionality behind authentication

• "This page is public for everyone" - Open access without login requirements

You can disable the authentication by clicking on the ellipsis and selecting 'Disable auth'.

Disabling a protected page

Databutton handles sign-up forms, password resets, and all the behind-the-scenes security automatically. When you access a page protected with a shield, you will be prompted to sign up/login.
