## What it is
Flask-User is a Flask extension providing customizable user authentication and account management, including registration, email confirmation, login, password reset, and role-based authorization. It supports SQL and MongoDB databases and ships with internationalization for many languages.

## Use cases
- add user registration and login to a flask app
- implement email confirmation for new accounts
- handle forgot password and password reset flows
- add role-based authorization to flask routes
- manage user accounts with change username and password features

## When to choose
- you need ready-to-use auth with sensible defaults in Flask
- you want customizable login, registration, and password management out of the box
- you need role-based authorization and multi-email support in Flask

## When to avoid
- you use a framework other than Flask
- you need actively maintained software with recent updates
- you only need minimal session handling and prefer Flask-Login directly

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: auth, authorization, form-handling, internationalization
- domain: web-development, backend, security
- platform: python
- tags: flask, user-management, login, registration, password-reset, role-based-authorization, flask-extension, web-server
