Hi guys 👋 I'm new to prisma, so sorry for such a basic question haha. I come from using django, where everything is handled for you, and so I'm not completely sure of what the best way of implementing user auth could be. Do you guys know of any resources that could help me? I know I have to create the user model, make sure passwords are hashed, implement sessions (or something like that) and etc BUT, as I said, I'm not sure because I am used to having something like django to handle all that for you.

Hey 👋 With which framework are you using Prisma? With Next.js you can use Next Auth

Oh, cool! So I can use social authentication with prisma to make it all even easier. How would I go about password authentication tho? I'm guessing, because NextAuth makes it 10x easier, all I really have to do is use the credentials provider and hash the password when registering and etc etc, right?

I would still recommend using NextAuth, it’s actively maintained and is quite popular. You could even ask Next Auth specific questions in their GitHub Discussions: https://github.com/nextauthjs/next-auth

Great! Thanks 😄

What about this: https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/examples/with-passport Using passport.js with the local strategy

If you want to try out some cloud auth offerings then Auth0, Supabase Auth, Firebase Auth are good. We have a blog on using Auth0 with Prisma which you can checkout here

Update: I ended up using iron-session to do the authentication and it works great. It doesn't require me to setup any jwt tokens and is really nice to work with. If I ever do need SocialAuthentication, I will probably try and use passportjs. It seems to have everything I need with only a little bit of extra work to setup. Thanks for the help guys!
