Ion Auth is a simple and lightweight authentication library for the CodeIgniter 4 PHP framework. It provides user registration, login, group-based authorization, and password recovery out of the box.

Use cases

• add user login and registration to a CodeIgniter app
• manage user groups and permissions in CodeIgniter
• implement forgotten password flows
• restrict pages to admins in CodeIgniter
• track and limit failed login attempts

When to choose

• you are building a CodeIgniter 4 application and need drop-in authentication
• you want a lightweight auth system without heavy dependencies
• you need group/role-based authorization with minimal setup

When to avoid

• you are not using the CodeIgniter framework
• you need a full-featured identity platform with SSO, OAuth, or MFA
• you are starting a new project on a modern framework with better-maintained auth options
