Learning Meteor.js [Part 25]: Add authentication using 'Accounts' package

Meteor did a great job to get users get started with its authentication story. The default package not only gives you a usable UI it makes it very simple to configure which ever provider you want to use.

Check it out, the UI of the package contains the instructions of how to set up the authentication provider and it can self configure once you give it the clientID and secret. I can't imagine how it could be simpler.

All I had to do to get this to work is add this template in my view:

<div class="navbar-right login">
      {{> loginButtons}}
</div>
