## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: auth, web-framework
- domain: web-development, security, backend
- platform: elixir
- tags: phoenix, authentication, user-management, password-reset, session-management, web-server
