A Nuxt 2 module providing zero-boilerplate authentication with configurable schemes (local, JWT, OAuth2, OpenIDConnect) and built-in providers like Auth0, GitHub, and Google. It handles client-side token storage and user info but does not implement server-side session handling.

Use cases

• add login to a Nuxt 2 app
• authenticate users with JWT tokens in Vue SSR app
• integrate OAuth2 social login like Google or GitHub
• handle token refresh in a Nuxt application
• protect routes with auth middleware in Nuxt
• store authenticated user info in cookies

When to choose

• you are building or maintaining a Nuxt 2 application and need drop-in auth
• you want prebuilt schemes and providers instead of wiring auth manually
• you need client-side token storage with refresh support

When to avoid

• you are starting a Nuxt 3 project - use Nuxt Auth Utils, Sidebase Nuxt Auth, or AuthJs Nuxt instead
• you need server-side session-based authentication
• you need a fully maintained module with active feature development
