#  login: User Authentication for Shiny Applications

**Author:** Jason Bryer, Ph.D. jason@bryer.org  
**Website:** https://jbryer.github.io/login/


[![R-CMD-check](https://github.com/jbryer/login/actions/workflows/R-CMD-check.yaml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/jbryer/login/actions/workflows/R-CMD-check.yaml)
`r badger::badge_devel("jbryer/login", color = "blue")`
`r badger::badge_cran_release("login")`
`r badger::badge_doi('10.5281/zenodo.10987876', color = 'blue')`




```{r, echo=FALSE, results='hide', message=FALSE, warning=FALSE, error=FALSE}
knitr::opts_chunk$set(
  collapse = TRUE,
  comment = "#>",
  fig.path = "man/figures/README-",
  out.width = "100%"
)

library(login)
```

This package provides a framework for adding user authentication to [Shiny](https://shiny.posit.co) applications. This is unique to other authentication frameworks such as [ShinyManager](https://datastorm-open.github.io/shinymanager/) and [shinyauthr](https://github.com/PaulC91/shinyauthr?tab=readme-ov-file) in that it provides tools for users to create their own accounts and reset passwords. This is particularly useful for Shiny applications used to collect data without a pre-existing user management system. User credentials are stored in any database that supports the [DBI](https://dbi.r-dbi.org) interface. Passwords are hashed using MD5 in the browser so that unencrypted passwords are never available to the Shiny server. For an extra layer of security, you can [salt](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_(cryptography)) the password before storing it in the database.

Resources for learning to use the `login` pacakge:

* [Package Website](https://jbryer.github.io/login/)
* [Slides from ShinyConf 2024](https://github.com/jbryer/login/tree/main/inst/slides/login.pdf)

You can install from CRAN:

```{r, eval=FALSE}
install.packages('login')
```

Or to install the latest development version:

```{r, eval=FALSE}
remotes::install_github('jbryer/login')
```

Once installed, there are several demos included:

```{r, eval=FALSE}
# These demonstrate the core login functionality
shiny::runApp(paste0(find.package('login'), '/login_demo_simple/'), port = 2112)
shiny::runApp(paste0(find.package('login'), '/login_template/'), port = 2112)
shiny::runApp(paste0(find.package('login'), '/login_modal/'), port = 2112)
# These demonstrate the user_param_module
shiny::runApp(paste0(find.package('login'), '/user_params/'), port = 2112)
shiny::runApp(paste0(find.package('login'), '/data_viewer/'), port = 2112)
```
