| paddy@57 | 2 Package auth provides an authentication service for managing user accounts and an OAuth2 provider. |
| paddy@57 | 3 |
| paddy@57 | 4 The service is an opinionated implementation of authentication using passphrases and the |
| paddy@57 | 5 code.secondbit.org/pass package to implement user credentials and accounts. Additionally, users |
| paddy@158 | 6 are permitted to login using any email address they have on record. Care is also taken to be able |
| paddy@158 | 7 to mitigate attacks that have already happened and plan ahead for the worst case scenarios. |
| paddy@57 | 8 |
| paddy@57 | 9 An OAuth2 provider is also built-in and provided, complete with client registration and management, |
| paddy@57 | 10 as well as a specification-based set of handlers for managing the issuing of grants and tokens. Token |
| paddy@57 | 11 validiity may be asserted through an API, or a proxy service is provided for stripping auth-specific |
| paddy@57 | 12 information from requests and replacing it with a trusted header containing information about the user |
| paddy@57 | 13 and client that authorized the request. |
