FastAPI Users is a ready-to-use and customizable user management library for FastAPI applications. It provides registration, login, password reset, email verification, and social OAuth2 flows with pluggable database and authentication backends.

Use cases

• add user registration and login to a FastAPI app
• implement JWT or cookie-based authentication in FastAPI
• add social OAuth2 login to a Python API
• manage user models with SQLAlchemy or MongoDB in FastAPI
• inject the current authenticated user into FastAPI routes
• add password reset and email verification flows

When to choose

• you are building a FastAPI or Starlette application and need user accounts out of the box
• you want customizable auth backends (JWT, database, Redis) and transports (header, cookie)
• you need OpenAPI-compatible authentication with multiple backends

When to avoid

• you need new features, since the project is in maintenance mode with no new development
• you are not using FastAPI or Starlette
• you need a full-featured identity provider with SSO, MFA, or admin console
