title: Password-based Authentication
description: Password-based authentication block for TanStack Start
---
<BlockPreview name="password-based-auth/auth/sign-up" />
## Installation
<BlockItem name="password-based-auth-tanstack" description="Supabase Client for TanStack Start" />
## Folder structure
This block includes the [Supabase client](/ui/docs/tanstack/client). If you already have one installed, you can skip overwriting it.
<RegistryBlock itemName="password-based-auth-tanstack" />
## Usage
Once you install the block in your TanStack Start project, you'll get all the necessary pages and components to set up a password-based authentication flow.
### Getting started
After installing the block, you'll have the following environment variables in your `.env.local` file:
```env
VITE_SUPABASE_URL=
VITE_SUPABASE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY=
```
- If you're using supabase.com, you can find these values in the [Connect modal](https://supabase.com/dashboard/project/_?showConnect=true&connectTab=frameworks&framework=react&using=vite&with=supabasejs) under App Frameworks or in your project's [API settings](https://supabase.com/dashboard/project/_/settings/api).
- If you're using a local instance of Supabase, you can find these values by running `supabase start` or `supabase status` (if you already have it running).
### Adding email templates
1. Add an [email template for sign-up](https://supabase.com/dashboard/project/_/auth/templates) to the Supabase project. Your signup email template should contain at least the following HTML:
```html
<h2>Confirm your email address</h2>
<p>Follow the link below to confirm this email address and finish signing up.</p>
<p>
<a
href="{{ .SiteURL }}/auth/confirm?token_hash={{ .TokenHash }}&type=email&next={{ .RedirectTo }}"
>Confirm email address</a
>
</p>
```
For detailed instructions on how to configure your email templates, including the use of variables like `{{ .SiteURL }}`,`{{ .TokenHash }}`, and `{{ .RedirectTo }}`, refer to our [Email Templates guide](https://supabase.com/docs/guides/auth/auth-email-templates).
1. Add an [email template for reset password](https://supabase.com/dashboard/project/_/auth/templates) to the Supabase project. Your reset password email template should contain at least the following HTML:
```html
<h2>Reset your password</h2>
<p>We received a request to reset your password. Follow the link below to choose a new one.</p>
<p>
<a
href="{{ .SiteURL }}/auth/confirm?token_hash={{ .TokenHash }}&type=recovery&next={{ .RedirectTo }}"
>Reset password</a
>
</p>
```
### Setting up routes and redirect URLs
1. Set the site URL in the [URL Configuration](https://supabase.com/dashboard/project/_/auth/url-configuration) settings in the Supabase Dashboard.
1. Set up the route users will visit to reset or update their password. Go to the [URL Configuration](https://supabase.com/dashboard/project/_/auth/url-configuration) settings and add the `forgot-password` route to the list of Redirect URLs. It should look something like: `http://example.com/auth/forgot-password`.
1. Update the redirect paths in `login.tsx` and `update-password.tsx` components to point to the logged-in routes in your app. 1. Our examples use `/protected`, but you can set this to whatever fits your app.
