Phoenix Course Update #9: Lock It Down
February 27, 2025
Phoenix has a built-in generator that adds a full-featured, secure authentication system right into your app. It streamlines the development process because you don’t have to worry about complex security concerns such as session management, password storage, protection against common attacks, expiring time-based tokens, and other tricky bits. That’s all taken care of for you, in a “best practice” way. 💯
And today we added 6 new modules on authentication to our Full-Stack Phoenix course:
- Generating the Auth System
- Customizing User Accounts
- Authentication Plugs
- Restricting Access
- Live Sessions
- Admin Users
After generating the authentication system, we walk through all the relevant code so you know what’s up. Then we add new features to user accounts and use authentication plugs to restrict access to admin-only resources.
