Supabase Auth Provider Not Enabled

The third-party auth provider is not enabled in Supabase.

Understanding Supabase Auth

Supabase Auth is a powerful authentication tool that provides developers with a simple and secure way to manage user authentication in their applications. It supports various third-party authentication providers, making it easy to integrate social logins and other external auth systems.

Identifying the Symptom

When using Supabase Auth, you might encounter an issue where a third-party authentication provider is not functioning as expected. The symptom of this issue is typically an error message indicating that the provider is not enabled.

Error Message

The error message you might see could be something like: "Provider Not Enabled". This indicates that the specific third-party provider you are trying to use has not been activated in your Supabase project.

Exploring the Issue

The root cause of this problem is that the third-party authentication provider has not been enabled in the Supabase dashboard. Without enabling the provider, Supabase cannot authenticate users through that service.

Why This Happens

By default, Supabase does not enable all third-party providers to ensure security and control over which services are allowed to authenticate users. This requires developers to manually enable the providers they wish to use.

Steps to Fix the Issue

To resolve the "Provider Not Enabled" issue, follow these steps:

Step 1: Access the Supabase Dashboard

Log in to your Supabase Dashboard. Navigate to the project where you are experiencing the issue.

Step 2: Navigate to Authentication Settings

In the dashboard, go to the "Authentication" section. Here, you will find a list of available authentication providers.

Step 3: Enable the Required Provider

Locate the provider you wish to enable (e.g., Google, GitHub, etc.). Toggle the switch to enable the provider. You may need to provide additional configuration details such as client ID and secret, which you can obtain from the provider's developer console.

Step 4: Save Changes

After enabling the provider and entering any necessary information, make sure to save your changes. This will activate the provider for your project.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the "Provider Not Enabled" issue in Supabase Auth. For more detailed information, you can refer to the Supabase Auth Documentation.
