A Rails generator that scaffolds a complete, pre-built authentication system directly into a Rails application (web or API-only), following security and Rails best practices. Because the code is generated into the app rather than shipped as a gem dependency, developers have full freedom to modify it.

Use cases

• add user sign-up and login to a Rails app
• generate authentication for a Rails API with token auth
• add two-factor authentication and recovery codes
• implement password reset and email verification flows
• add social login with OmniAuth to Rails
• build a multi-tenant Rails app with authentication
• check passwords against data breaches at signup

When to choose

• you want full ownership and modifiability of your auth code instead of a black-box gem
• you need a comprehensive Rails auth setup with 2FA, WebAuthn, or sudo mode
• you're starting a new Rails web or API-only app and want best-practice auth quickly

When to avoid

• you're not using Ruby on Rails
• you want a maintained library that receives automatic security updates after installation
• you prefer Devise-style gem-based authentication with centralized upgrades
