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