title: Password-based Authentication
description: Password-based authentication block for React Single Page Applications
---
<BlockPreview name="password-based-auth/auth/sign-up" />
## Installation
<BlockItem
name="password-based-auth-react"
description="All needed components for the password based auth flow"
/>
## Folder structure
This block includes the [Supabase client](/ui/docs/react/client). If you already have one installed, you can skip overwriting it.
<RegistryBlock itemName="password-based-auth-react" />
## Usage
Once you install the block in your React 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_OR_ANON_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).
### 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. Our examples use `/protected`, but you can set this to whatever fits your app.
1. Add the following code in the authenticated route to redirect to login if the user is unauthenticated.
```ts
import { useEffect } from "react"
import { createClient } from "@supabase/supabase-js"
export default function AuthenticatedRoute() {
useEffect(() => {
const checkAuth = async () => {
const client = createClient()
const { error } = await client.auth.getUser()
if (error) {
location.href = "/login"
}
}
checkAuth()
}, [])
return <div>Authenticated page</div>;
}
```
