Coherence is a full-featured, configurable authentication system for the Phoenix web framework in Elixir. It provides modular authentication features such as registration, email confirmation, password recovery, account locking, invitations, and remember-me sessions, with generated customizable boilerplate views and templates.

Use cases

• add user login and registration to a Phoenix app
• implement email confirmation for new accounts
• add password reset with expiring tokens
• lock accounts after failed login attempts
• send user invitations with sign-up links
• add remember-me persistent login sessions
• track login statistics like counts and IP addresses

When to choose

• you are building a Phoenix application that needs full user authentication out of the box
• you want configurable, modular auth features like invitations, locking, and confirmation
• you prefer generated boilerplate code you can customize freely

When to avoid

• you are not using Phoenix or Elixir
• you need token-based API authentication (e.g., JWT) rather than session-based auth
• you need a very actively developed library with frequent updates
