User App Access Requires Replit Account Creation

Hi,

I have added users to my app under “viewer”. However, replit tries to get them to create an account on initial access. I simply want user to be able to access my app only without having to create a replit account, is that possible?

Greg, post a screenshot of your Publishing tab, I’ll help you understand whats going on.

are you asking whether Replit allows public users to access your app without being forced to create or log into a Replit account, even if they are added as “viewers”?

Thanks, I read through more of the documentation and understand what’s happening now….

Yes, it’s possible. Replace with an Auth tool of your choice or ask it to create basic auth. Replit from what I’ve experienced will default to the tools it wants to recommend, so you have to explicitly ask for what you want to ensure it doesn’t go with their native tools.

Which is…?

Oh yea I’ve removed Replit auth each time and made the agent make my own sign in system. Not worth going through Replit for brain mg and sign up restriction purposes. Just a lot cleaner. I have an ERP app with hundreds of users and 20k - 25k lines of code and it works fine. Just ask the agent to do this with you as an approver.
