About

A multi-account, form-based, database-less, application-wide, Rails authenticator.

Auther provides simple, form-based authentication for apps that need security but don't want to deal with the clunky HTTP Basic Authentication user interface or as heavyweight as link:https://github.com/plataformatec/devise[Devise]. Auther doesn't require a database and is compatible with password managers which makes for a pleasant user experience.

What you get

  • Supports form-based authentication compatible with password managers like link:https://bitwarden.com[Bitwarden].
  • Uses pure CSS for styling.
  • Uses encrypted account credentials to keep sensitive information secure.
  • Supports multiple accounts with optional path exclude lists.
  • Supports customizable routes, models, presenters, views, controllers, and loggers.
  • Provides a generator for easy install and setup within an existing project.
  • Provides auto-redirection to requested path for verified credentials.

Installing it

ruby
# Gemfile
