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.
