<SignIn /> component

The <SignIn /> component renders a UI for signing in users.

The <SignIn /> component renders a UI for signing in users. The functionality of the <SignIn /> component is controlled by the instance settings you specify in the Clerk Dashboard, such as sign-in and sign-up options and social connections. You can further customize your <SignIn /> component by passing additional properties at the time of rendering.

Note

The <SignUp/> and <SignIn/> components cannot render when a user is already signed in, unless the application allows multiple sessions. If a user is already signed in and the application only allows a single session, Clerk will redirect the user to the Home URL instead.

Properties

All props are optional.

  • Name
    path
    Type

    signUpUrl
    Type

  • Name
    forceRedirectUrl?
    Type
    string
    Description

    If provided, this URL will always be redirected to after the user signs in. Takes priority over deprecated props such as afterSignInUrl and redirectUrl. It's recommended to use the environment variable instead.

  • Name
    fallbackRedirectUrl?
    Type
    string
    Description

    The fallback URL to redirect to after the user signs in, if there's no redirect_url in the path already. Defaults to /. Takes priority over deprecated props such as afterSignInUrl and redirectUrl. It's recommended to use the environment variable instead.

    Type
    string
    Description

  • Name
    waitlistUrl?
    Type
    string
    Description

    Full URL or path to the waitlist page. Use this property to provide the target of the 'Waitlist' link that's rendered. If undefined, will redirect to the Account Portal waitlist page. If you've passed the waitlistUrl prop to the <ClerkProvider> component, it will infer from that, and you can omit this prop.

Usage with frameworks

The following example includes basic implementation of the <SignIn /> component. You can use this as a starting point for your own implementation.

The following example demonstrates how you can use the <SignIn /> component on a public page.

If you would like to create a dedicated /sign-in page in your Next.js application, see the dedicated guide.

app/page.tsx
import { SignIn, useUser } from '@clerk/nextjs'

export default function Home() {
  const { user } = useUser()

  if (!user) {
    return <SignIn />
  }

  return <div>Welcome!</div>
}
/src/sign-in/[[...index]].tsx
import { SignIn } from '@clerk/clerk-react'

const SignInPage = () => <SignIn path="/sign-in" />

export default SignInPage
app/routes/sign-in/$.tsx
import { SignIn } from '@clerk/remix'

export default function SignInPage() {
  return (
    <div style={{ border: '2px solid blue', padding: '2rem' }}>
      <h1>Sign In route</h1>
      <SignIn />
    </div>
  )
}
pages/sign-in.astro
---
import { SignIn } from '@clerk/astro/components'
---

<SignIn path="/sign-in" />
