Welwitschi-Auth is an authentication library for use in websites written in PHP. It offers an object-oriented abstraction over rows stored in a MySQL/MariaDB database.

Accounts created by this library all receive a unique ID in the database. Usernames and email addresses are also unique, it is not possible to have duplicate entries.

Upon creation of an account, the account will need to be confirmed before being able to log in or generate API keys.

A user is able to log in with exactly one device at a time, as well as have one active API token.

Security
--------

[](#security)

Passwords, API Tokens and Login Tokens are all stored salted and hashed using the builtin `password_hash()` function. The algorithm used to hash the password is `PASSWORD_BCRYPT`.

All SQL Statements with variable values are properly escaped to avoid SQL injection.

Usernames and Email addresses are sanitized using html `htmlspecialchars` to avoid Cross-Site-Scripting attacks (XSS).

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

[](#installation)

You can use welwitschi-auth by adding the requirement

```
"namboy94/welwitschi-auth": "dev-master"

```

to your `composer.json` file an then running `composer install`. You can then find the classes in `vendor/namboy94/welwitschi-auth/src`. Thanks to autoloader, you should be able to easily access the classes from cheetah-bets.

Documentation
