## What it is
Flask-Security 3.0 is a Flask extension providing quick and simple authentication and security features such as login, registration, and role management for Flask applications. This repository is archived as of July 2024; all future development continues in the Flask-Security-Too repo under pallets-eco.

## Use cases
- add login and registration to a flask app
- user authentication for flask
- role-based access control in flask
- password management for flask applications
- session-based auth for a python web app

## When to choose
- you are maintaining a legacy Flask app already using Flask-Security 3.0

## When to avoid
- starting a new Flask project needing auth
- you want ongoing updates and security patches
- you need modern features like WebAuthn or OAuth support

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: auth, authorization, security
- domain: security, web-development, backend
- platform: python
- tags: flask, flask-extension, archived, user-management, session-auth
