ecto-secure-password Build StatusHex VersionHex docs

A port of Rails has_secure_password for Ecto models.

The full documentation is available at http://hexdocs.pm/secure_password/SecurePassword.html

Installation

  1. Add secure_password to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:
def deps do
[{:secure_password, "~> 0.3.0"}]
end
  1. Ensure secure_password is started before your application:
def application do
[applications: [:secure_password]]
end

Usage

Setup the model

To use secure_password, you need to

  1. Add use SecurePassword to your model
  2. Add has_secure_password to your schema
  3. Add with_secure_password to your changeset (see the docs for the available options)

NOTE: Be sure to have password either in your changeset required_fields or optional_fields. You do not need to add password_confirmation in either as it will be checked from changeset.params.

Here is an example user module.

defmodule User do
use Ecto.Schema
use SecurePassword
import Ecto.Changeset
schema "users" do
field :email, :string
field :name, :string
has_secure_password
end
@required_fields ~w(email)
@optional_fields ~w(name password)
def changeset(model, params \\ :empty) do
model
|> cast(params, @required_fields, @optional_fields)
|> with_secure_password(min_length: 8)
end
end

Authenticate

To authenticate the model, you just need to call Model.authenticate. It will return the user struct when the password is valid, and false otherwise.

if user = User.authenticate(MyRepo.get(User, 1), params["password"]) do
# do something
else
# you are not authenticated
end

Testing

This library uses comeonin to hash passwords. To avoid slowing down the tests, you can add the following to your config/test.exs.

config :comeonin, :bcrypt_log_rounds, 4
config :comeonin, :pbkdf2_rounds, 1
