Lucia Identity Provider Integration
Lucia Auth Suspicious Login Detection
Add a risk check to a Lucia-style login handler, between the password check and createSession.
Install command
npm install loginllamaAdd LoginLlama to Lucia in one call
Call LoginLlama from your Lucia login handler before you create the session. Send the email, IP, and user agent, then allow, challenge, or block based on the returned risk score.
// Install: npm install loginllama
// A login handler built the way the Lucia guide describes
import { LoginLlama } from 'loginllama';
import { createSession, generateSessionToken } from './session';
import { verifyPassword } from './users'; // your own user lookup
const loginllama = new LoginLlama({
apiKey: process.env.LOGINLLAMA_API_KEY!
});
export async function POST(request: Request) {
const form = await request.formData();
const email = String(form.get('email'));
const user = await verifyPassword(email, String(form.get('password')));
if (!user) return new Response('Invalid credentials', { status: 401 });
// Score the login before the session row exists. Fail open: an
// outage lets the sign-in through.
const result = await loginllama
.check(email, { request })
.catch(() => null);
if (result && result.risk_score > 7) {
return new Response('Sign-in blocked', { status: 403 });
}
const token = generateSessionToken();
await createSession(token, user.id);
// Set the session cookie with the token, as in the Lucia guide.
return new Response(null, { status: 302, headers: { Location: '/' } });

Lucia login security FAQ
How do I add suspicious login detection to Lucia?
Install LoginLlama with `npm install loginllama`, then call the risk check from your Lucia login handler before you create the session. Send the user's email, IP address, and user agent, and branch on the returned risk score.
Will LoginLlama slow down Lucia logins?
No. Risk scoring returns in under 100ms. If LoginLlama is unreachable the check throws an error, so catch it and let the Lucia login go ahead. An outage then never blocks a real user.
What does LoginLlama detect on Lucia logins?
New devices and browser fingerprints, impossible travel and login velocity, credential-stuffing bursts, and traffic from VPNs, proxies, TOR exit nodes, and high-risk IPs — each returned with a clear, human-readable reason code.
Does LoginLlama work with Oslo, Drizzle, SvelteKit, Next.js, Astro?
Yes. LoginLlama runs at the login step itself, so it works alongside Oslo, Drizzle, SvelteKit, Next.js, Astro and the rest of your Lucia stack without replacing your existing authentication provider.
Other integrations
LoginLlama works with the same single API call across every stack.
