### 1. Quickstart

* Check out the [demo app](https://demo-app-v0-3-3.streamlit.app/).
* Feel free to visit the [API reference](https://streamlit-authenticator.readthedocs.io/en/stable/).
* And finally follow the tutorial below.

### 2. Installation

Streamlit-Authenticator is distributed via [PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/streamlit-authenticator/):

```python
pip install streamlit-authenticator
```

Using Streamlit-Authenticator is as simple as importing the module and calling it to verify your user's credentials.

```python
import streamlit as st
import streamlit_authenticator as stauth
```

### 3. Creating a config file

* Create a YAML config file and add to it your user's credentials: including username, email, first name, last name, and password (plain text passwords will be hashed automatically).
* Enter a name, random key, and number of days to expiry, for a re-authentication cookie that will be stored on the client's browser to enable password-less re-authentication. If you do not require re-authentication, you may set the number of days to expiry to 0.
* Define an optional list of pre-authorized emails of users who are allowed to register and add their credentials to the config file using the **register_user** widget.
* Add the optional configuration parameters for OAuth2 if you wish to use the **experimental_guest_login** button.
* **_Please remember to update the config file (as shown in step 13) whenever the contents are modified or after using any of the widgets or buttons._**

```python
cookie:
expiry_days: 30
key: some_signature_key # Must be a string
name: some_cookie_name
credentials:
usernames:
jsmith:
email: [email protected]
failed_login_attempts: 0 # Will be managed automatically
first_name: John
last_name: Smith
logged_in: False # Will be managed automatically
password: abc # Will be hashed automatically
roles: # Optional
- admin
- editor
- viewer
rbriggs:
email: [email protected]
failed_login_attempts: 0 # Will be managed automatically
first_name: Rebecca
last_name: Briggs
logged_in: False # Will be managed automatically
password: def # Will be hashed automatically
roles: # Optional
- viewer
oauth2: # Optional
google: # Follow instructions: https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/oauth2
client_id: # To be filled
client_secret: # To be filled
redirect_uri: # URL to redirect to after OAuth2 authentication
microsoft: # Follow instructions: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/auth-register-app-v2
client_id: # To be filled
client_secret: # To be filled
redirect_uri: # URL to redirect to after OAuth2 authentication
tenant_id: # To be filled
pre-authorized: # Optional
emails:
- [email protected]
```

* _Please note that the 'failed_login_attempts' and 'logged_in' fields corresponding to each user's number of failed login attempts and log-in status in the credentials will be added and managed automatically._

### 4. Setup

* Subsequently import the config file into your script and create an authentication object.

```python
import yaml
from yaml.loader import SafeLoader

with open('../config.yaml') as file:
config = yaml.load(file, Loader=SafeLoader)

# Pre-hashing all plain text passwords once
# stauth.Hasher.hash_passwords(config['credentials'])

authenticator = stauth.Authenticate(
config['credentials'],
config['cookie']['name'],
config['cookie']['key'],
config['cookie']['expiry_days']
)
```

* Plain text passwords will be hashed automatically by default, however, for a large number of users it is recommended to pre-hash the passwords in the credentials using the **Hasher.hash_passwords** function.
* If you choose to pre-hash the passwords, please set the **auto_hash** parameter in the **Authenticate** class to False.

![](https://github.com/mkhorasani/Streamlit-Authenticator/blob/main/graphics/guest_login_microsoft.JPG)

* Please note that upon successful login, the guest user's name, email, and other information will be registered in the credentials dictionary and their re-authentication cookie will be saved automatically.
* **_Please remember to update the config file (as shown in step 13) after you use this button._**

### 7. Authenticating users

* You can then retrieve the name, authentication status, and username from Streamlit's session state using **st.session_state['name']**, **st.session_state['authentication_status']**, **st.session_state['username']**, and **st.session_state['roles']** to allow a verified user to access restricted content.
* You may also render a logout button, or may choose not to render the button if you only need to implement the logout logic programmatically.
* The optional **key** parameter for the logout button should be used with multi-page applications to prevent Streamlit from throwing duplicate key errors.

```python
if st.session_state['authentication_status']:
authenticator.logout()
st.write(f'Welcome *{st.session_state["name"]}*')
st.title('Some content')
elif st.session_state['authentication_status'] is False:
st.error('Username/password is incorrect')
elif st.session_state['authentication_status'] is None:
st.warning('Please enter your username and password')
```

> ### Authenticate.logout
> #### Parameters:
> - **button_name:** _str, default 'Logout'_
> - Customizes the button name.
> - **location:** _str, {'main', 'sidebar', 'unrendered'}, default 'main'_
> - Specifies the location of the logout button. If 'unrendered' is passed, the logout logic will be executed without rendering the button.
> - **key:** _str, default None_
> - Unique key that should be used in multi-page applications.
> - **callback:** _callable, optional, default None_
> - Callback function that will be invoked on form submission with a dict as a parameter.

* Or prompt an unverified user to enter a correct username and password.

![](https://github.com/mkhorasani/Streamlit-Authenticator/blob/main/graphics/incorrect_login.JPG)

* You may also retrieve the number of failed login attempts a user has made by accessing **st.session_state['failed_login_attempts']** which returns a dictionary with the username as key and the number of failed attempts as the value.

### 8. Creating a reset password widget

* You may use the **reset_password** widget to allow a logged in user to modify their password as shown below.

```python
if st.session_state['authentication_status']:
try:

* If you require the user to be pre-authorized, define a **pre_authorized** list of emails that are allowed to register, and add it to the config file or provide it as a parameter to the **register_user** widget.
* Once they have registered, their email will be automatically removed from the **pre_authorized** list.
* Alternatively, to allow anyone to sign up, do not provide a **pre_authorized** list.

```python
try:
email_of_registered_user, \
username_of_registered_user, \
name_of_registered_user = authenticator.register_user(pre_authorized=config['pre-authorized']['emails'])
