Hi @Hanoosh. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

To add authentication to your existing project, you can use Refine's authentication system. It provides the necessary infrastructure to protect your pages and ensure that users interact with your application in a secure and controlled manner. Refine's flexible architecture allows you to easily implement various authentication strategies such as Google, Amazon Cognito, Okta, and Auth0. You can also implement your own authentication system or use one of the supported auth providers source (https://refine.dev/docs/guides-concepts/authentication).
Here are the steps to add authentication to your project:
1. Create a new Next.js app: You can create a new Next.js app using
create-next-app which sets up everything automatically for you. You can use the yarn package manager or npm if you prefer.
2. Start the project: Once the installation is completed, move into your folder directory and run the below command to start the project:
3. Install the NextAuth package: Now your app has started you need to install the NextAuth package which is essential for the authentications.
4. Implement Authentication: After implementing the authentication process, you need to inform data provider about the authentication credentials. You can do this by sending the authentication credentials with the request. For example, after obtaining the authentication token you can store it in cookies and sent it with on every request source (https://refine.dev/docs/guides-concepts/authentication#usage-with-data-provider-).
5. Add Authentication to your pages: On the client-side, you can wrap your pages with Authenticated component from @refinedev/core to protect your pages from unauthenticated access source (https://refine.dev/docs/routing/integrations/next-js#authentication).
6. Create your own Authentication approach: You can create your own Authentication approach using Refine. You can customize the AuthProvider methods according to your needs and control the privileges of your users source (https://refine.dev/docs/examples/authentication/antd).
Remember to check out the tutorial page (https://refine.dev/docs/authentication/auth-provider/) to learn more about how to create an auth provider.
