Pow 1.0.3 released

Changelog: Github
Hex: https://hex.pm/packages/pow/1.0.3

PowInvitation

Now it is super easy to add an invitation system to your platform with Pow! Check out the documentation to see how easy it is to configure it for your exact needs: https://github.com/danschultzer/pow/blob/v1.0.3/lib/extensions/invitation/README.md

This has been a highly requested feature, and I’m happy that we finally got a flexible solution in Pow.

What’s next?

WebAuthn

WebAuthn standard has been finalized! I believe Pow should have built-in 2FA/password-less authentication support, and this is something I hope to look at soon. I would be grateful for any input.

There’s an issue for it here: https://github.com/danschultzer/pow/issues/6

Maintainers

So far this has been a self-funded project, and I’ve been fortunate enough to have enough time to work full time on this. However I’ll probably get back to my startup life soon, so I’ve worked hard to streamline the codebase, and made it easy for others to join in.

The best way to help out is to open PR’s or helping with issues. When you become familiar with how Pow works you will be invited to join as maintainer. Thanks!

Security audit

Pow definitely needs some eyes on security practices. @griffinbyatt is one of the few people I’ve seen doing this. If there’s any person or company that’s willing to put some time into this, I would be deeply grateful.

Happy coding :rocket:
