Ion Auth 3
==========

[](#ion-auth-3)

### CodeIgniter Compatibility

[](#codeigniter-compatibility)

This version is for CodeIgniter v3, if you need support for v4 you can find it at the [v4 branch here](https://github.com/benedmunds/CodeIgniter-Ion-Auth/tree/4).

### The future of authentication

[](#the-future-of-authentication)

by [Ben Edmunds](http://benedmunds.com)

Simple and lightweight authentication for your CodeIgniter apps.

Ion Auth 2 dropped any backwards compatibility and made things more awesome.

Ion Auth 3, while not dropping as much backwards compatibility, made things even more awesome!

Server requirements
-------------------

[](#server-requirements)

Ion Auth 3 needs **CodeIgniter 3** and **PHP 5.6**. It should work on 5.4 as well, but we strongly advise you NOT to run such old versions of PHP, because of potential security and performance issues. In this case, you may need [password\_compat](https://github.com/ircmaxell/password_compat).

Documentation
-------------

[](#documentation)

Documentation is located at [http://benedmunds.com/ion\_auth/](http://benedmunds.com/ion_auth/)

Upgrading
---------

[](#upgrading)

See [UPGRADING.md](UPGRADING.md) file.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

See [INSTALLING.md](INSTALLING.md) file.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

In the package you will find example usage code in the controllers and views folders. The example code isn't the most beautiful code you'll ever see but it'll show you how to use the library and it's nice and generic so it doesn't require a MY\_controller or anything else.

### Default Login

[](#default-login)

Username: Password: password

### Important

[](#important)

It is highly recommended that you use encrypted database sessions for security!
