Building Basic Authentication with Xano and Webflow

Xano Free Beginner

Before roles, you need real login, and this walks through signup, login, and fetching the current user with tokens rather than fragile front-end tricks. It shows how a Webflow site can have proper authentication backed by a real server. A solid starting point if your stack is a visual front end plus a no-code backend.

  • Real auth uses server-issued tokens, not hidden pages
  • Signup, login, and a current-user check are the three pieces
  • The backend decides who is logged in, not the browser
