About Clerk
Clerk is a user authentication and identity management platform built for web applications.
Clerk handles sign-up, sign-in, session management, and user profiles so developers don't have to build auth infrastructure from scratch. It supports multiple authentication strategies including passwords, magic links, OAuth providers, and multi-factor authentication. Clerk is aimed at developers building web apps who want a fully managed auth solution with pre-built UI components.
Where to start
Start by creating a Clerk application in the Clerk dashboard to get your API keys, then install the Next.js SDK and wrap your app with the Clerk provider to enable authentication.
