## What it is
A lightweight, plugin-based authentication library for Vue.js (Vue 2 and Vue 3) that handles login, registration, and token management in single-page apps. It is framework-agnostic on the backend and works with any auth driver or API.

## Use cases
- add login and logout to a vue app
- manage auth tokens in a vue spa
- vue 3 authentication plugin
- handle oauth login in vuejs
- protect routes in a vue application
- simple frontend auth for vue

## When to choose
- you want a minimal, unopinionated auth layer for Vue 2 or Vue 3
- your backend API already handles authentication and you need frontend glue
- you need flexible driver support (JWT, OAuth, cookies) in a Vue SPA

## When to avoid
- you need a full backend auth solution with user management
- you use a framework other than Vue
- you want batteries-included auth with built-in UI components

- artifact type: library
