Authentication is one of the most importantβ€”and sometimes frustratingβ€”parts of any web application. Whether you’re building a startup MVP, client portal, or internal tool with Bubble, getting authentication right is critical.

That’s why I created a complete in-depth Bubble authentication tutorial, covering everything from email signups to Gmail login, password recovery, and even how to create user accounts as an admin.

👇 Watch the full tutorial here:

✅ What You’ll Learn

This is more than just a signup/login flow. I take you through real-world authentication use casesβ€”the kind of flows you’ll actually implement when building apps for yourself or clients.

🔸 Regular Authentication

  • Sign up with email and password
  • Send a verification email to users
  • Verify email addresses in Bubble
  • Send a welcome email and mark user as verified
  • Log in and log out users
  • Handle forgot password functionality
  • Implement a Magic Link login flow

🔸 Social Login (OAuth)

  • Enable Gmail login
  • Enable GitHub login

🔸 Admin: Create Account for Another User

  • Create a new user as an admin (without them signing up)
  • Set a password for that user
  • Trigger a custom email to onboard them

🛠 Why This Matters

Many tutorials skip important detailsβ€”like sending verification emails or structuring workflows properly. In this video, I not only show you how to do these things, but also explain why they matter.

You’ll walk away with:

  • Clean, scalable authentication flows
  • Best practices for security & user experience
  • The confidence to implement auth in any Bubble app
