Authentication

Authentication is the process of verifying who a user is, typically through login, so an app knows which account someone is using.

Authentication is how an app confirms a user is who they claim to be — usually a login with a password, a magic link, or a social sign-in. It is the front door: it identifies the account so the app can show the right data and, together with permissions, decide what that person is allowed to do.

Done properly, authentication is security-critical and easy to get wrong. Password storage, sessions, and reset flows have to be handled carefully, which is why it is rarely something to build from scratch.

ybuild includes authentication in the apps it builds. User accounts, secure login, and access rules come working out of the box — hosted on ybuild and live on your own domain — so your customers and staff sign in safely without you assembling an auth system.

Does ybuild handle user login and authentication?

Yes. Apps built on ybuild include authentication — secure accounts, login, and access rules — out of the box. It is hosted on ybuild and runs on your own domain, so sign-in works without you building it yourself.
