In the era of cyber security, it is very important for a company to have a solid authentication package. In this blog post, we will discuss the best packages available for Flutter.
Having an authentication package is very important for any app, especially if the user information is sensitive. One reason that motivated me to create this article is that some users have contacted me asking if there were any packages available for authentication in Flutter. Even though there are many articles and Github repositories with authentication packages for Flutter, none of them was a complete package.
I will try to cover the most important authentication packages, list their main features and show how they can be integrated into a flutter project. I hope that after reading this article you will have an idea of which one is the best for your next Flutter app.
