AuthOS Web Integration

Public AuthOS Links

Use these public AuthOS links when producing user-facing setup or troubleshooting guidance:

• Main site: https://authos.dev/
• Documentation: https://authos.dev/docs/
• AI Agent Skills guide: https://authos.dev/docs/ai-agent-skills/
• AuthOS source repository: https://github.com/drmhse/AuthOS

Use this skill for browser-facing AuthOS work. If the task is server-side token verification, use authos-backend-integration. If it is API-key service-to-service work, use authos-service-api-integration.

Packages

• Core SDK: @drmhse/sso-sdk
• React adapter: @drmhse/authos-react
• Vue adapter: @drmhse/authos-vue

Initialize the core SDK with the API base URL:

import { SsoClient } from '@drmhse/sso-sdk';

const authos = new SsoClient({
  baseURL: 'https://api.example.com'
});

The SDK stores tokens through its SessionManager, uses browser localStorage by default, falls back to in-memory storage in Node-like runtimes, and automatically retries a request after 401 by calling /api/auth/refresh when a refresh token is available.

For quick app setup, npx @drmhse/authos-cli init detects React, Next.js, Vue, or Nuxt and writes the AuthOS origin to the framework-appropriate env file. Current defaults use http://localhost:3001 as the starting AuthOS URL:

• Next.js: .env.local gets AUTHOS_BASE_URL and NEXT_PUBLIC_AUTHOS_URL.
• Nuxt: .env.local gets AUTHOS_BASE_URL and NUXT_PUBLIC_AUTHOS_BASE_URL.
• Vite React/Vue: .env gets AUTHOS_BASE_URL and VITE_AUTHOS_BASE_URL.

These public env vars contain the AuthOS origin only; do not put service API keys or provider secrets in browser-exposed env vars.

OAuth Redirect Login

Build the login URL and redirect the browser:

const url = authos.auth.getLoginUrl('github', {
  org: 'acme',
  service: 'web-app',
  redirect_uri: 'https://app.example.com/callback'
});

window.location.href = url;

Handle callback fragments:

const hash = new URLSearchParams(window.location.hash.slice(1));
const accessToken = hash.get('access_token');
const refreshToken = hash.get('refresh_token');
const preauthToken = hash.get('preauth_token');

if (accessToken) {
  await authos.setSession({
    access_token: accessToken,
    refresh_token: refreshToken ?? undefined
  });
  window.history.replaceState(null, '', window.location.pathname);
}

if (preauthToken) {
  // Show MFA UI and call authos.auth.verifyMfa(preauthToken, code).
}

AuthOS callback handlers append tokens to the redirect URI as fragments for browser flows. Do not build web callbacks around ?code= exchange unless you have verified a source path that explicitly returns JSON for your scenario.

Password, Magic Link, Passkey, MFA

Use password login for native email/password flows:

const session = await authos.auth.login({
  email: 'user@example.com',
  password: 'correct horse battery staple',
  org_slug: 'acme',
  service_slug: 'web-app'
});

If login returns an MFA pre-auth token or the OAuth callback has mfa_required=true, complete MFA:

await authos.auth.verifyMfa(preauthToken, code);

The core SDK also exposes:

• authos.magicLinks.request(...) and authos.magicLinks.verify(...) for /api/auth/magic-link/*.
• authos.passkeys.authenticateStart/Finish and registration helpers for /api/auth/passkeys/*.
• authos.auth.register, forgotPassword, resetPassword, resendVerification, and lookupEmail.

Organization Context

Prefer explicit org and service values for app login. AuthOS supports platform-level sessions, org-scoped sessions, and service-scoped sessions; user-facing apps normally need the service-scoped form so subscription, provider token, and permission checks match the application.

Switch org context with:

await authos.organizations.select('acme');

Frontend Safety

• Clear callback fragments after storing tokens.
• Keep redirect_uri registered on the AuthOS service and validate it in app configuration.
• Use HTTPS for production callbacks.
• Treat provider access tokens from /api/provider-token/:provider as sensitive user tokens.
• Do not embed service API keys in frontend code; those belong only on trusted servers.
