Email/Password Authentication
Integrate email/password sign-up, sign-in, sessions, password reset, and optional email verification with prebuilt or custom UI.
Add email/password authentication to an existing application.
Add SuperTokens email/password authentication to this existing application. First inspect the project stack and current SuperTokens configuration. Configure the frontend and backend EmailPassword and Session recipes, the chosen pre-built or custom UI, auth routes, password reset flow, and environment variables. Ask whether email verification is required if it is not clear. Preserve existing conventions, do not commit secrets, and validate the sign-up, sign-in, sign-out, session refresh, and password reset flows with the relevant tests and build.
