pow
A robust, modular, and extendable authentication and user management solution for Phoenix and Plug-based Elixir applications.
What is pow?
Pow is a robust, modular authentication and user management library for Elixir's Phoenix framework and Plug-based applications. It provides a solid foundation for handling user registration, session-based authorization, API token support, and multitenancy, minimizing boilerplate while offering extensive customization options.
Elixir developers building Phoenix or Plug-based web applications that require secure, flexible authentication systems, particularly those working on umbrella projects or applications with complex user management needs.
Developers choose Pow for its modular architecture, which allows independent use of Plug, Ecto, and Phoenix components, and its extendable core with built-in extensions for features like password reset and email confirmation. Its configuration flexibility per endpoint or plug makes it ideal for applications with multiple user domains.
