Tank Auth is an authorization library for PHP-framework CodeIgniter. It's based on DX Auth, althouth the code was seriously reworked.

Features

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.
