How to build user signup and login in Bubble

The core idea is simple: Bubble already has a built‑in authentication system. To create signup and login, you use the Sign the user up and Log the user in actions inside a workflow. You only need two inputs (email + password), two buttons, and the correct workflows attached to them.

What You Need on the Page

• Input A → email (Content format: Email)
• Input B → password (Content format: Password)
• Button → Sign Up
• Button → Log In

Build the Signup Workflow

Click the Sign Up button → Start/Edit Workflow. Add the action Account › Sign the user up. Bubble will create a new User thing in the database (Bubble has this built‑in type called User). You only need to map email and password from the inputs.

// Workflow: When Sign Up button is clicked
Action: Account > Sign the user up
Email = Input A's value
Password = Input B's value

After signup, Bubble automatically logs the new user in. Usually you add a navigation step, such as “Go to page dashboard”.

Build the Login Workflow

Click the Log In button → Start/Edit Workflow. Add the action Account › Log the user in. This checks the credentials Bubble already stores securely.

// Workflow: When Log In button is clicked
Action: Account > Log the user in
Email = Input A's value
Password = Input B's value

After login succeeds, redirect to your app’s main page.

Optional but Important Details

• Password reset: Use the action "Send password reset email". Bubble emails the link automatically.
• Signup confirmation: If you need email verification, enable "Require email confirmation" in Settings › General.
• Privacy: In Data › Privacy, make sure "Current User" can only see their own sensitive fields.
• Testing: Use Preview mode, open two browsers (logged in / logged out) to verify redirects work.

This is the simplest and most reliable way to implement Bubble authentication. Bubble handles hashing, sessions, cookies, and security for you — you only control the workflows.
