pow-auth/pow

Pow is an authentication library for Elixir and Phoenix applications, providing a modular framework for managing user sessions, credentials, and account workflows. It offers a suite of extensions including email confirmation, password resets, persistent sessions, and user invitations, each with dedicated Ecto schemas and Phoenix controllers. The system also includes Mix tasks to automate the generation of migrations, templates, and configuration, streamlining the integration of authentication features into web applications.

The project underwent a major rebranding from Authex to Pow, accompanied by a comprehensive architectural overhaul to support Phoenix 1.7 and Ecto 3. This period focused on modernizing the codebase by introducing dedicated Ecto contexts, Phoenix controllers, and Mix tasks for each extension, while removing legacy authentication plugs and in-memory caching mechanisms.

This period focused on introducing the PowInvitation extension, which enables user invitation workflows across Ecto and Phoenix layers. The work also included adding test support infrastructure for extensions and comprehensive test coverage for various components, including password hashing and session caching.
