Google Authentication with Next.js

Why should you choose Next auth?

You might be wondering, if you are already using something like firebase then why should you use Next auth? Here’s why

• Easy to use
• Gives us a lot of providers for authentication
• You can get the details as soon as the user reaches the page with serverSideProps while you would get the user’s details after a few seconds with something like firebase.
• It is very secure as it uses HTTP POST + CSRF Token validation
• JWT with JWS / JWE / JWK / JWK
