This starter kit uses Kinde Python SDK v2, which simplifies the configuration by using environment variables instead of a config file.

Create a `.env` file in the root directory with the following variables from your Kinde `App Keys` page:
Copy `.env.example` to `.env` and fill in the values from your Kinde `App Keys` page:

```env
# Kinde Flask Starter Kit Environment Variables
# Copy this template and fill in your actual values
```console
$ cp .env.example .env

KINDE_CLIENT_SECRET=your_client_secret_here
KINDE_REDIRECT_URI=http://localhost:5000/callback
KINDE_DOMAIN=https://your-subdomain.kinde.com
`.env` is already in `.gitignore`, so your secrets stay out of git.

# Optional: Management API credentials (for enhanced features)

### Environment variables

# Flask configuration
FLASK_SECRET_KEY=your-secret-key-here
```
- **KINDE_CLIENT_ID** - Your Kinde client ID
- **KINDE_CLIENT_SECRET** - Your Kinde client secret
- **KINDE_HOST** - Your Kinde domain with `https://` (e.g. `https://your-subdomain.kinde.com`)
- **KINDE_REDIRECT_URI** - The callback URL: `http://localhost:5001/callback`
- **SECRET_KEY** - A random key for Flask sessions. Generate one with `python -c "import secrets; print(secrets.token_hex(32))"`

### Required Environment Variables:
For the Management API pages (`/helpers` and `/api_demo`), also set:

- **KINDE_CLIENT_ID** - Your Kinde client ID
- **KINDE_CLIENT_SECRET** - Your Kinde client secret
- **KINDE_REDIRECT_URI** - The callback URL (typically `http://localhost:5000/callback`)
- **KINDE_DOMAIN** - Your Kinde domain (e.g., `https://your-subdomain.kinde.com`)
- **KINDE_MANAGEMENT_CLIENT_ID** - Your Kinde management client ID (for Management API features)
- **KINDE_DOMAIN** - Your Kinde domain without `https://` (e.g. `your-subdomain.kinde.com`)
- **KINDE_MANAGEMENT_CLIENT_ID** - Your Kinde management client ID
- **KINDE_MANAGEMENT_CLIENT_SECRET** - Your Kinde management client secret

> **Note**: Make sure to add `.env` to your `.gitignore` file to keep your secrets secure.

## Set your Callback and Logout URLs

Your user will be redirected to Kinde to authenticate. After they have logged in or registered they will be redirected back to your Flask application.

You need to specify in Kinde which URL you would like your user to be redirected to in order to authenticate your app.

On the App Keys page set `Allowed callback URLs` to `http://localhost:5000/callback`
On the App Keys page set `Allowed callback URLs` to `http://localhost:5001/callback`

> Important! This is required for your users to successfully log in to your app.

You will also need to set the URL they will be redirected to upon logout. Set the `Allowed logout redirect URLs` to `http://localhost:5000`.
You will also need to set the URL they will be redirected to upon logout. Set the `Allowed logout redirect URLs` to `http://localhost:5001`.

## Start the app

Run `flask run` and navigate to `http://localhost:5000`.
Run `flask run` and navigate to `http://localhost:5001`.

The app runs on port 5001 because port 5000 is used by AirPlay on macOS. The port and host are set in `.env` (`FLASK_RUN_PORT` and `FLASK_RUN_HOST`).

> Open the app at `http://localhost:5001`, not `http://127.0.0.1:5001`. Your browser keeps separate cookies for the two, so if you start the login on one and Kinde sends you back to the other, the login fails with an invalid state error.

Filter the Kinde SDK logger before authenticated requests.

kinde_oauth.get_user_info() still logs the complete user-info response at INFO, including profile fields such as email. The PR removes application-level sensitive logs but leaves this SDK log, so the safer-logging change remains incomplete. Configure the Kinde SDK logger itself at WARNING or higher.

This SDK behavior predates the PR; the change reduces duplicate exposure but does not remove the remaining SDK log.

Configure the Kinde SDK logger to WARNING or higher before authenticated
requests invoke kinde_oauth.get_user_info(), so its INFO-level user-profile
response is filtered. Leave the existing application logging and user_data
construction unchanged.
