Ember Simple Auth is a lightweight library for implementing authentication/authorization with Ember.js applications. It has minimal requirements with respect to application structure, routes etc. With its pluggable strategies it can support all kinds of authentication and authorization mechanisms. it maintains a client-side session and synchronizes its state across multiple tabs/windows of the application. it authenticates the session against the application's own server, external providers...

...The module encourages a modular design where individual grant types are plugged in as needed, enabling only relevant flows for a given application, such as supporting third-party app access without exposing user credentials. It also provides helpers for serializing clients and users into session state, signing tokens, and validating requests, reducing the boilerplate developers would otherwise write.

...Instead of managing authentication logic manually in every route, passport-local centralizes the process through a strategy interface where you provide a function to find and validate the user. Once integrated with an Express-based application, it handles reading credentials from requests, invoking your verification logic, and managing success or failure flows, all while cooperating with session middleware to serialize authenticated users.
