Authentication not working

I am a newbie to authentication and nextjs in general. I was just following the nextjs dashboard application tutorial on the official nextjs website. I am currently in the authentication section, and I have tried to replicate everything that was spoken about in the tutorial, but it doesn't seem to be working.

First, I can access my dashboard page even without logging in.
When I attempt to login with the correct details, I am not redirected to the dashboard page.

I am not exactly sure where the problem is at all, I am willing to provide the full code if requested, thanks.

I think I found the problem, I didn't spell the middleware.ts file correctly🥹

hmm your code matches the tutorial, so the only thing I can think of is the env variable. did you set AUTH_SECRET?
I also thought all routes would be protected until authentication is successful.

But right now I can any part of the app without being authenticated
