## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: library

- function: auth, authorization, middleware, orm
- domain: web-development, backend, security, developer-tools
