feathers-authentication-management-v4

This repo is a fork from TheSinding

Compatible with Feathers v4 Crow

I have added 2 more checks. hasWaitedToChangePassword and hasWaitedToVerify to force the user to wait 30 minutes before requesting a new token.

Adds sign up verification, forgotten password reset, and other capabilities to local feathersjs/authentication.

This repo works with async/await or Promises.

Multiple communication channels:

Traditionally users have been authenticated using their username or email. However that landscape is changing.

Teens are more involved with cellphone SMS, whatsapp, facebook, QQ and wechat then they are with email. Seniors may not know how to create an email account or check email, but they have smart phones and perhaps whatsapp or wechat accounts.

A more flexible design would maintain multiple communication channels for a user -- username, email address, phone number, handles for whatsapp, facebook, QQ, wechat -- which each uniquely identify the user. The user could then sign in using any of their unique identifiers. The user could also indicate how they prefer to be contacted. Some may prefer to get password resets via long tokens sent by email; others may prefer short numeric tokens sent by SMS or wechat.

feathersjs/authentication and feathers-plus/authentication-local-management provide much of the infrastructure necessary to implement such a scenario.
