Throughout your app, you may want to gate certain user experiences based on whether the current user is authenticated or not. Privy makes it easy to check your user’s authentication status and handle it appropriately.
You can use the boolean authenticated from the usePrivy hook to determine if your user is authenticated or not.

authenticated: boolean;
Before determining a user’s auth status from Privy, you should verify that
Privy has fully initialized and is ready
import { useRouter } from "next/router";import { usePrivy } from "@privy-io/react-auth";export default function MyComponent() {const { ready, authenticated, user } = usePrivy();const router = useRouter();if (!ready) { // Do nothing while the PrivyProvider initializes with updated user state return <></>;}if (ready && !authenticated) { // Replace this code with however you'd like to handle an unauthenticated user // As an example, you might redirect them to a login page router.push("/login");}if (ready && authenticated) { // Replace this code with however you'd like to handle an authenticated user return <p>User {user?.id} is logged in.</p>;}}
