The options parameters are used to store additional information, e.g. user name, birthday, etc. in the user record when registering new users.
B4X:
Dim AdditionalUserMetadata As Map = CreateMap("first_name":"Alexander","age":25)
Wait For (xSupabase.Auth.SignUp("test@gmail.com","Test123!",AdditionalUserMetadata)) Complete (NewUser As SupabaseUser)This information is then stored in the "raw_user_meta_data" column in the Auth.Users table.

B4X:
Wait For (xSupabase.Auth.GetUser) Complete (User As SupabaseUser)
Log(User.Metadata.Get("username"))Login with E-Mail and Password

If User.Error.Success Then
Log("successfully logged in with " & User.Email)
Else
Log("Error: " & User.Error.ErrorMessage)
End IfUpdate the user with a new email or password. Each key (email, password, and data) is optional
B4X:
Wait For (xSupabase.Auth.UpdateUser("test@example.com","")) Complete (Result As SupabaseError)
If Result.Success Then
Log("User data successfully changed")

Log("Error: " & Result.ErrorMessage)
End If
B4X:

If Result.Success Then
Log("User successfully logged out")
Else

End IfDon't forget to Initialize the event:
B4X:
xSupabase.InitializeEvents(Me,"Supabase")
B4X:
Private Sub Supabase_AuthStateChange(StateType As String)
Select StateType
Case "passwordRecovery"
Log("Reset password was requested")
Case "signedIn"
Log("The user has logged in")
Case "signedOut"
Log("The user has logged out")
