## What it is
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
