Supabase Auth Provider Not Enabled

The OAuth provider (e.g., Google, GitHub) is not enabled in Supabase.

Understanding Supabase Auth

Supabase Auth is a powerful authentication tool that allows developers to easily integrate user authentication into their applications. It supports various authentication methods, including email/password, magic links, and OAuth providers like Google and GitHub. The primary purpose of Supabase Auth is to simplify the process of managing user identities and securing applications.

Identifying the Symptom

When using Supabase Auth, you might encounter an issue where users are unable to log in using an OAuth provider. The symptom of this issue is typically an error message indicating that the provider is not enabled. This can be frustrating, especially if you are expecting seamless integration with providers like Google or GitHub.

Exploring the Issue

The root cause of the 'Provider Not Enabled' error is that the OAuth provider you are trying to use has not been enabled in your Supabase project. Each provider needs to be explicitly enabled in the Supabase dashboard before it can be used for authentication. Without enabling the provider, Supabase cannot handle the OAuth flow, resulting in the error.

Common Error Messages

  • "Provider not enabled: Google"
  • "Provider not enabled: GitHub"

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 and navigate to your project.

Step 2: Navigate to Authentication Settings

In the left-hand menu, click on Authentication to access the authentication settings for your project.

Step 3: Enable the OAuth Provider

Under the Providers section, you will see a list of available OAuth providers. Locate the provider you wish to enable (e.g., Google, GitHub) and toggle the switch to enable it.

Step 4: Configure Provider Settings

After enabling the provider, you may need to configure additional settings such as client ID and client secret. Follow the instructions provided in the Supabase documentation for each specific provider. You can find detailed guides in the Supabase Auth Documentation.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the 'Provider Not Enabled' issue and allow users to authenticate using their preferred OAuth provider. Remember to check the Supabase documentation for any provider-specific instructions and ensure that all settings are correctly configured.
