Ueberauth is an Elixir authentication framework for Plug-based web applications, providing a two-phase authentication API inspired by Omniauth. It handles the initial authentication challenge (e.g., OAuth flows) through pluggable community strategies, while leaving per-request authentication to the application or companion libraries like Guardian.

Use cases

• add GitHub OAuth login to a Phoenix app
• support sign-in with multiple third-party providers
• implement social login in a Plug-based Elixir web app
• build custom authentication strategies for Elixir
• integrate OAuth2 flows with phx.gen.auth
• collect credentials from a login form in a standardized way

When to choose

• you're building a Phoenix or Plug-based Elixir app and need third-party provider login
• you want a consistent API across many OAuth/OAuth2 strategies
• you need to pair initial authentication with JWT sessions via Guardian

When to avoid

• you need per-request session authentication handled for you
• you're not using Plug-based Elixir web frameworks
• you need a full turnkey auth solution with user management out of the box
