User authentication in Phoenix?
What combination of libraries do you use for your Phoenix web app for standard user authentication? There are a couple listed in the awesome-elixir list, notably, ueberauth.
What I am looking for is a basic user account (email/password), register, login/logout, forgot password, and roles/groups for ACL. I want an admin panel for managing users, too, but I realize I will probably have to build this out.
Most of what I see is for basic JSON Web Token (JWT) authentication for API backends or similar. So I am a little confused about the standard practice for user auth in a plain ol’ web app.
I bet this has been blogged about somewhere…

Authentication in Phoenix/Elixir app with Ueberauth and Guardian

I’ve tried Addict and Openmaize in a Phoenix application.
I didn’t like Addict too much because it relies heavily on JavaScript (for example, on the redirections).
Instead, I chose Openmaize – it’s very well documented, doesn’t rely on JS, and provides signup/login/logout/password reset features out of the box. Ah, and two-factor authentication as well.

Happened upon this gem today. It walks you through setting up coherence with satisfyingly pedantic detail.
