1. In the WorkOS dashboard, head to the Redirects tab and create a sign-in callback redirect for http://localhost:3000/callback.

2. After creating the redirect URI, navigate to the API keys tab and copy the Client ID and the Secret Key. Rename the .env.local.example file to .env.local and supply your Client ID and API key as environment variables.

   It has to be at least 32 characters long. You can use https://1password.com/password-generator/ to generate strong passwords.

4. Verify your .env.local file has the following variables filled.

   WORKOS_API_KEY=<YOUR_API_SECRET_KEY>
   WORKOS_REDIRECT_URI=http://localhost:3000/callback
   WORKOS_COOKIE_PASSWORD=<YOUR_COOKIE_PASSWORD>
