Implementing authentication in Nuxt.js, especially Email+Password authentication, can be challenging. NuxtAuth sidebase.io intentionally limits email password functionality to discourage the use of passwords due to security risks and added complexity. However, in certain projects, clients may require user password authentication. Lucia offers a flexible alternative to NuxtAuth and other Nuxt auth utils, providing more customization options without compromising on security. This template serves as a starting point for building a Nuxt.js app with Lucia authentication.
Lucia is less opinionated than NuxtAuth sidebase.io, offering greater flexibility for customization. While Lucia involves more setup, it provides a higher degree of flexibility, making it a suitable choice for projects requiring unique authentication configurations.
