Authenticate users for a members-only site?

[fromwebflow (Dan)]

Having discovered Webflow, I am thinking of using it for an upcoming project. It looks good, very good. But I don’t see many possibilities for procedures other than passive pages (I am used to working with HTML+CSS+JS+PHP+MySQL).

Would anyone be kind enough to tell me if user authentication is possible with Webflow while using Webflow CMS and Webflow hosting? and if yes, with maybe a little pointer?

Many thanks.

Hi @fromwebflow

Welcome to the forums!

At the moment, not natively - other than password protecting pages/projects.

However…see these two posts for interesting developments on an integration:

Webflow integrated with FirebaseUI for user authentication

Update 01/09/2018 New and improved video series up here. This shows how to set up user authentication using Webflow and Firebase, but without Firebase UI. Instead I show how to build your own forms so you can have full control over your site’s look and feel. Looking forward to your feedback! Update 15/03/18 I have made a Youtube playlist with the basics of getting this set up here. There seems to be a decent amount of interest in this topic, so I plan to create a series of screencast tutorial …

Keyfold - User registration and login for Webflow

Evening all, Long time listener, first time caller - I’m Daley, a Product Designer from Auckland New Zealand, great to be a part of the growing Webflow community. So what started as an exploration into how @jasondark and I could streamline our prototyping process has now turned into a full blown project that has the two of us working flat out to design and build a product (almost entirely within Webflow) that can do the same, if not much much more, for all of you. There is still a lot of work…

Natively, there is a wishlist item if you’d like to add your vote:

Hope that helps…

Hi @fromwebflow

Also, just to mention keeping an eye on Micah @mistercreate and his youtube channel - he’s working on integrating Knack into Webflow:

Personalized Content in Webflow Using Knack

Hi there awesome Webflowers! I’ve been dying to share this. First off, this post is not by any means connected to Webflow. If the features I present do not work as expected, or are buggy, then that is a reflection on me and not Webflow This evening at 5pm CST, I give a glimpse into a project that I’ve been working on: personalizing content within Webflow by taking advantage of web apps created with Knack.com I’ll present a feature that allows me to create a membership …

I highly recommend MemberStack! Now, I can’t imagine NOT using it in all of my future projects. Here’s a link to something I have been working on utilizing MemberStack: https://www.loom.com/share/e35a0c3d555548b0bedebd066ea8cdc3

Thanks @baileysimrell
I’m loving that dashboard template

[baileysimrell]

We’re getting there. Hopefully by the end of this week I’ll have a final build finished. Been super busy, my guy. You will be especially excited with the bonus modules for the tutorial series I’m working on

@baileysimrell that dashboard looks amazing! I love the loading interaction when the page first loads
