# DSL: AshAuthentication.Strategy.Password

Strategy for authenticating using local resources as the source of truth.

In order to use password authentication your resource needs to meet the
following minimum requirements:

1. Have a primary key.
2. A uniquely constrained identity field (eg `username` or `email`).
3. A sensitive string field within which to store the hashed password.

There are other options documented in the DSL.

### Example:

```elixir
defmodule MyApp.Accounts.User do
  use Ash.Resource,
    extensions: [AshAuthentication],
    domain: MyApp.Accounts

  attributes do
    uuid_primary_key :id
    attribute :email, :ci_string, allow_nil?: false
    attribute :hashed_password, :string, allow_nil?: false, sensitive?: true
  end

  authentication do
    strategies do
      password :password do
        identity_field :email
        hashed_password_field :hashed_password
      end
    end
  end

  identities do
    identity :unique_email, [:email]
  end
end
```

## Actions

By default the password strategy will automatically generate the register,
sign-in, reset-request and reset actions for you, however you're free to
define them yourself.  If you do, then the action will be validated to ensure
that all the needed configuration is present.

If you wish to work with the actions directly from your code you can do so via
the `AshAuthentication.Strategy` protocol.

### Examples:

Interacting with the actions directly:

    iex> strategy = Info.strategy!(Example.User, :password)
    ...> {:ok, marty} = Strategy.action(strategy, :register, %{"username" => "marty", "password" => "outatime1985", "password_confirmation" => "outatime1985"})
    ...> marty.username |> to_string()
    "marty"

    ...> {:ok, user} = Strategy.action(strategy, :sign_in, %{"username" => "marty", "password" => "outatime1985"})
    ...> user.username |> to_string()
    "marty"

## Plugs

The password strategy provides plug endpoints for all four actions, although
only sign-in and register will be reported by `Strategy.routes/1` if the
strategy is not configured as resettable.

If you wish to work with the plugs directly, you can do so via the
`AshAuthentication.Strategy` protocol.

### Examples:

Dispatching to plugs directly:

    iex> strategy = Info.strategy!(Example.User, :password)
    ...> conn = conn(:post, "/user/password/register", %{"user" => %{"username" => "marty", "password" => "outatime1985", "password_confirmation" => "outatime1985"}})
    ...> conn = Strategy.plug(strategy, :register, conn)
    ...> {_conn, {:ok, marty}} = Plug.Helpers.get_authentication_result(conn)
    ...> marty.username |> to_string()
    "marty"

    ...> conn = conn(:post, "/user/password/reset_request", %{"user" => %{"username" => "marty"}})
    ...> conn = Strategy.plug(strategy, :reset_request, conn)
    ...> {_conn, :ok} = Plug.Helpers.get_authentication_result(conn)

## Testing
