Abstract
User authentication is critical to any modern web application. Various forms of user authentication mechanisms are available today. Traditionally, users log in to an application using a username and password. With the rise of social networking, single sign-on using an OAuth provider such as Facebook or Twitter has become a popular authentication method. In this chapter you will learn to implement username and password-based authentication for your application.
