Summary

AuthKit's hosted UI automatically integrates Radar to safeguard sign-in and sign-up processes without requiring setup, but when using headless AuthKit by directly calling User Management APIs, additional client-side signals are needed to enable Radar's protection. The tutorial provides a step-by-step guide for integrating Radar into a custom authentication flow using Next.js, focusing on collecting browser-side signals, handling authentication challenges, and ensuring that Radar can evaluate login attempts effectively. Initially, everything operates in log mode, allowing users to observe Radar’s decisions without affecting real users, before switching to enforcement mode for actual challenges and blocks. The process involves collecting device signals, passing them alongside user data to the server, managing different outcomes from Radar (such as allowing, challenging, or blocking attempts), and handling email and SMS challenges if required. The integration is designed to enhance security by ensuring that signals like IP address and user agent are verified by the server, preventing spoofing, and involves a series of server-side and client-side steps to ensure comprehensive protection and user management.
