It wraps FastAPI's OAuth2 security model to let you protect routes with a simple dependency injection pattern, supporting both header-based bearer tokens and cookie-based sessions. The core workflow is: define a user loader callback, create tokens on login, then use the LoginManager as a route dependency to enforce authentication.\n\nThe package depends on fastapi, pyjwt, and typing-extensions. It supports Python 3.8 through 3.13 and runs on any OS. You provide the user lookup logic (database, in-memory store, etc.) and the package handles token lifecycle\u2014encoding, decoding, expiration, and optional cookie management with HTTPOnly flags.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need straightforward JWT or cookie-based authentication in FastAPI without building token logic from scratch. The low install friction, permissive license, and stable API make it a practical choice. However, note the aging maintenance status\u2014verify compatibility with your fastapi version and consider whether the package receives updates for security patches or breaking changes in its dependencies."},"id":"fastapi-login","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/fastapi-login","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/fastapi-login.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/fastapi-login/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-12-14","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"fastapi-login","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Flask-Login like package for FastAPI"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":85141,"position":13946,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.10.3"}
