UserFrosting is a modern PHP user management framework built on Slim, Twig, Eloquent ORM, Vite, and Vue, providing login, registration, and user administration out of the box. It is both a web framework and a fully functioning user management application, extensible via its modular Sprinkle system.

Use cases

• build a website with user login and registration in php
• manage users and roles for a community forum
• add remember-me persistent sessions to a php app
• create an employee management system with accounts
• throttle login attempts to prevent brute force attacks
• build a multi-language user-facing web application
• expose searchable paginated apis for user data

When to choose

• you need a ready-made, secure user login and management system in PHP
• you want a full-stack PHP framework with Vue frontend and Eloquent ORM included
• you want to extend a user management base app without modifying core code via Sprinkles

When to avoid

• you need a headless auth service for a non-PHP stack
• you want a minimal microframework without built-in user features
• your project is built on Laravel, Symfony, or another full framework already
