Authentication and Authorization in Next.js
summary
Claims that storing JWT in an HttpOnly cookie solves server‑rendered auth in Next.js and demonstrates it with a working demo: create token on login (including a magic email link flow), set cookie, verify token on server, and gate a secret page. Uses getInitialProps reading cookie on server and client, Auth0 Lock for providers, an Express custom backend, and deployment on zeit.co/Now. Source code and a Firebase example are linked; login, logout and cross‑browser session behavior all function as shown.
