Most API clients will automatically apply basic authentication if you enter your credentials as :[email protected]. For example, this API request URL would automatically encode your credentials in a call to Shopify:
When you enable automatic basic authentication, you do not need to encode your credentials manually and shouldn't enter an Authorization header key/value pair. (In API Connector, if you enter a basic access Authorization header while also using automatic basic authentication, the Authorization header will take precedence).
The mix phx.gen.auth command generates a flexible, pre-built authentication system into your Phoenix app. This generator allows you to quickly move past the task of adding authentication to your codebase and stay focused on the real-world problem your application is trying to solve.
Either approach will create an Accounts context with an Accounts.User schema module. The final argument is the plural version of the schema module, which is used for generating database table names and route paths. The mix phx.gen.auth generator is similar to mix phx.gen.html except it does not accept a list of additional fields to add to the schema, and it generates many more context functions.
Since Phoenix generates this code into your application instead of building these modules into Phoenix itself, you now have complete freedom to modify the authentication system, so it works best with your use case. The one caveat with using a generated authentication system is it will not be updated after it's been generated. Therefore, as improvements are made to the output of mix phx.gen.auth, it becomes your responsibility to determine if these changes need to be ported into your application. Security-related and other important improvements will be explicitly and clearly marked in the CHANGELOG.md file and upgrade notes.
The generated code ships with an authentication module with a handful of plugs that fetch the current user, require authentication and so on. For instance, in an app named Demo which had mix phx.gen.auth Accounts User users run on it, you will find a module named DemoWeb.UserAuth with plugs such as:
The generated functionality ships with an account confirmation mechanism, where users have to confirm their account, typically by email. However, the generated code does not forbid users from using the application if their accounts have not yet been confirmed. You can add this functionality by customizing the require_authenticated_user in the Auth module to check for the confirmed_at field (and any other property you desire).
A user enumeration attack allows someone to check if an email is registered in the application. The generated authentication code does not attempt to protect from such checks. For instance, when you register an account, if the email is already registered, the code will notify the user the email is already registered.
Note citext is part of PostgreSQL itself and is bundled with it in most operating systems and package managers. mix phx.gen.auth takes care of creating the extension and no extra work is necessary in the majority of cases. If by any chance your package manager splits citext into a separate package, you will get an error while migrating, and you can most likely solve it by installing the postgres-contrib package.
Check out mix phx.gen.auth for more details, such as using a different password hashing library, customizing the web module namespace, generating binary id type, configuring the default options, and using custom table names.
As Jose said, you can find the plug :require_authenticated_user being used in the router file, protecting routes against unauthenticated users. You can find the code of that plug in the controllers, in the (your schema name)Auth module.
What I personally did to see clearly all the code being generated, is creating two new Phoenix projects. On one of them I run the generator. Then I compare the code of both projects with my diff tool, study, and copy code into my project.
Many of us used the phx.gen.auth generator to quickly build out authentication systems in our Phoenix apps. It spits out well-designed auth logic so we can get on quickly to the more interesting parts of our app.
All LiveViews in the auth system use the UI components from the CoreComponents module (generated by creating a new project with mix phx.new). These components were designed by the Tailwind team exclusively for Phoenix and are defined using the new :attr and :slots macros, taking a look at them is an excellent way to understand these new function component options.

You can access and write data in repositories on GitHub.com using SSH (Secure Shell Protocol). When you connect via SSH, you authenticate using a private key file on your local machine. For more information, see "About SSH."
If you want to use a hardware security key to authenticate to GitHub, you must generate a new SSH key for your hardware security key. You must connect your hardware security key to your computer when you authenticate with the key pair. For more information, see the OpenSSH 8.2 release notes.
When done, your security key(s) will appear in the Manage security keys section under Two-factor authentication. From there, you can rename or delete your security key(s), and add additional security keys to your account at any time.
Note: If you add a security key for additional two-factor authentication protection, we no longer require using another backup method for more protection. Security keys can be used as your sole authentication method, without any other methods turned on.

After you enable two-factor authentication for your account, you'll need to use a temporary password to log in to X on other devices or applications that require you to enter your X password; you will not be able to log in using your usual username and password combination. If we detect you will need a temporary password to log in, we will send one via SMS text message to your phone. Alternatively, you can generate your own temporary password.
Note: If your account has SMS text message two-factor authentication turned on (and when it is the only two-factor option turned on) and you're still logged in, you can remove your phone from your Mobile settings on X.com. Click Delete my phone and two-factor authentication will be automatically turned off for your account.
A backup code is automatically generated for you when you turn on two-factor authentication through your iOS or Android X app. You can also generate a backup code on twitter.com. Write down, print or take a screenshot of this backup code. In the event that you lose your mobile device or change your phone number, you can use this backup code to log in to your account. Backup codes are not the same as temporary passwords.
Playwright comes with the ability to generate tests for you as you perform actions in the browser and is a great way to quickly get started with testing. Playwright will look at your page and figure out the best locator, prioritizing role, text and test id locators. If the generator finds multiple elements matching the locator, it will improve the locator to make it resilient that uniquely identify the target element.
Use the codegen command to run the test generator followed by the URL of the website you want to generate tests for. The URL is optional and you can always run the command without it and then add the URL directly into the browser window instead.
You can use the test generator to generate tests using emulation so as to generate a test for a specific viewport, device, color scheme, as well as emulate the geolocation, language or timezone. The test generator can also generate a test while preserving authenticated state.
Run with --load-storage to consume the previously loaded storage from the auth.json. This way, all cookies and localStorage will be restored, bringing most web apps to the authenticated state without the need to login again. This means you can can continue generating tests from the logged in state.
The Apache HTTP Server can use a .htpasswd file referenced from a .htaccess file to create restricted protected areas. The .htpasswd file contains rows corresponding to a pair of username and password separated with a colon character. The password is encrypted using the UNIX system's crypt method and may use MD5 or SHA1.
This .htpasswd generator creates passwords that are hashed using the MD5 algorithm. Those passwords can be used on any platform including Windows, MacOsX and Linux.
Once set up, a user wishing to access a restricted directory will be requested a username and password pair to gain access. Only correct pairs will grant access to the requested directory.
.htpasswd is a flat-file used to store usernames and password for basic authentication of Apache HTTP Server. The name of the file is given by in the .htaccess configuration, and can be anything, but ".htpasswd" is the canonical name. The file name starts with a dot, because most Unix-like operating systems consider any file that begins with dot to be hidden. This file is often maintained with the shell command "htpasswd" which can add, delete, and update users, and will properly encode the password for use (so that it is easily checked, but not reversed back to the original password).
