Overview:

Remix Auth is a fully featured authentication system built on the Remix framework. It serves as a foundational starting point for Remix projects that require authentication functionality. With a combination of session-based login, session management, two-factor authentication, email verification, and password reset features, Remix Auth provides a comprehensive solution for user authentication.

Features:

• Session based login: Remix Auth utilizes a combination of short-lived access tokens (JWTs) and long-lived sessions stored in a database. This enables the implementation of advanced features not commonly found in simpler token-based authentication systems.
• Session management: Users have the ability to view all their currently logged in devices and easily revoke access to unrecognized devices with a single click. When a short-lived access token expires, the user is automatically redirected to the login page.
• Two-factor authentication: Users can enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) by scanning a QR code with an authenticator app, such as Google Authenticator. When logging in or updating their password, users with MFA enabled will be prompted for a time-based, one-time password (TOTP) generated by the authenticator app.
• Email verification: After signing up, users receive an email (currently logged to the console for simplicity) containing a link to verify their email address. This ensures that only valid email addresses are associated with user accounts.
• Forgot password: Users can request a password reset link via email. The link, which is valid for 24 hours (configurable), allows users to securely reset their password and regain access to their account.
