If you have an existing database with user data, you'll likely want to utilize an open-source solution that's provider agnostic.

- If you need email/password log-in, use [`next-iron-session`](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/examples/with-iron-session).
- If you need to persist session data on the server, use [`next-auth`](https://github.com/nextauthjs/next-auth-example).
- If you need to support social login (Google, Facebook, etc.), use [`next-auth`](https://github.com/nextauthjs/next-auth-example).
- If you want to use [JWTs](https://jwt.io/), use [`next-auth`](https://github.com/nextauthjs/next-auth-example).
- If you want a low-level, encrypted, and stateless session utility use [`next-iron-session`](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/examples/with-iron-session).
- If you want a full-featured authentication system with built-in providers (Google, Facebook, GitHub…), JWT, JWE, email/password, magic links and more… use [`next-auth`](https://github.com/nextauthjs/next-auth-example).

Both of these libraries support either authentication pattern. If you're interested in [Passport](http://www.passportjs.org/), we also have examples for it using secure and encrypted cookies:
