Tank Auth

Tank Auth is an authentication library for PHP-framework CodeIgniter. It's based on DX Auth, althouth the code was seriously reworked.

The key points of the library are:

It's simple:

• Basic auth options (login, logout, register, unregister).
• Very compact (less than 20 files and 4 DB-tables).
• Username is optional, only email is obligatory.

It's secure:

• Using phpass library for password hashing (instead of unsafe md5).
• Counting login attempt for bruteforce preventing (optional). Failed login attempts determined by IP and by username.
• Logging last login IP-address and time (optional).
• CAPTCHA for registration and repetitive login attempt (optional).
• Unactivated accounts and forgotten password requests auto-expire.

It's easy to manage:

• Strict MVC model: controller for controlling, views for representation and library as model interface.
• Language file support.
• View files contain only necessary HTML code without redundant decoration.
• Most of the features are optional and can be tuned or switched-off in well-documented config file.

It's full featured:

• Login using username, email address or both (depending on config settings).
• Registration is instant or after activation by email (optional).
• "Remember me" option.
• Forgot password (letting users pick a new password upon reactivation).
• Change password or email for registered users.
• Email can be changed even BEFORE account is activated.
• Ban user (optional).
• User Profile (optional).
• CAPTCHA support (CI-native and reCAPTCHA are available).
• HTML or plain-text emails.

Tank Auth is tested in CI 1.7.0, but should be working for above version.
