“Yes. Nhost supports both multi-factor authentication (MFA) and social OAuth login natively through Nhost Auth.”
+ Native MFA and social OAuth support

“Nhost supports both multi-factor authentication (MFA) and social OAuth login natively through Nhost Auth.”

+ Handles difficult authentication infrastructure

“Nhost handles the difficult authentication infrastructure: token management, OAuth flows, MFA challenges, and session handling.”

+ Comprehensive authentication capabilities

“I'd rate Nhost's authentication capabilities as quite comprehensive for a SaaS application, with MFA requiring somewhat more implementation work than social OAuth.”

+ Passkey/WebAuthn support

“Nhost additionally supports WebAuthn authentication, including:”

− MFA requires more implementation work

“with MFA requiring somewhat more implementation work than social OAuth.”

− Not zero-configuration

“However, neither is completely zero-configuration.”

− MFA not automatically enforced

“One important distinction: MFA is not automatically enforced for every user simply because TOTP is enabled.”

− TOTP MFA documented only for email/password

“One caveat: Nhost's built-in TOTP MFA is specifically documented for email/password authentication, so verify the desired MFA policy for social-login users before relying on it for a strict security requirement.”
