[](#security)

Simple security component for Nice applications.

[View the full documentation online](http://niceframework.com/nice/latest/extensions/security).

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

[](#installation)

Install the nice/security package using [Composer](http://getcomposer.org).

From your project root directory, run:

```
composer require nice/security:1.0.x-dev

```

This command will add nice/security package to your `composer.json` and then install the necessary files.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

nice/security includes a default authenticator, `Nice\Security\Authenticator\SimpleAuthenticator`. This authenticator uses the PHP 5.5 [password\_\*](http://php.net/password) API, falling back to ircmaxell's [password\_compat](https://github.com/ircmaxell/password_compat) library on PHP 5.4.

You must hash your password prior to using nice/security. This can be done through the included `hashpass.php`utility.

Full source code to `hashpass.php`:
