Tank Auth is an authentication library for PHP-framework CodeIgniter. It’s based on DX Auth, althouth the code was seriously reworked.
The key points of the library are:
It’s simple:
* Basic auth options (login, logout, register, unregister).
* Very compact (less than 20 files and 4 DB-tables).
* Username is optional, only email is obligatory.
It’s secure:
* Using phpass library for password hashing (instead of unsafe md5).
* Counting login attempt for bruteforce preventing (optional). Failed login attempts determined by IP and by username.
* Logging last login IP-address and time (optional).
* CAPTCHA for registration and repetitive login attempt (optional).
* Unactivated accounts and forgotten password requests auto-expire.
It’s easy to manage:
* Strict MVC model: controller for controlling, views for representation and library as model interface.
* Language file support.
* View files contain only necessary HTML code without redundant decoration.
* Most of the features are optional and can be tuned or switched-off in well-documented config file.
It’s full featured:
* Login using username, email address or both (depending on config settings).
* Registration is instant or after activation by email (optional).
* “Remember me” option.
* Forgot password (letting users pick a new password upon reactivation).
* Change password or email for registered users.
* Email can be changed even BEFORE account is activated.
* Ban user (optional).
* User Profile (optional).
* CAPTCHA support (CI-native and reCAPTCHA are available).
* HTML or plain-text emails.
Tank Auth is tested in CI 1.7.0, but should be working for above version.
