Authentication

@Narf You're the one only twisting the words here.

Again, you assume too much. Just because I did not mention the words secure or security about auth implementation, creation, use, build, whatnot, doesn't mean I don't know half of it as you mentioned. I took a web security test almost 3 years ago and an employer literally chased me for an entire year and willing to almost double my rate so I would join his team. So again, don't assume too much. I assure you, I know security concepts far more than what you "certainly" assume.

Let me be clear --there's a demand (product request) for auth in most frameworks. We've got almost 200 developers in my day job and a rough estimate 100% of them said that CI lacks all modern features including auth. This forum's Poll might only had around 35% who voted for this request out of only 14 votes, and that's because many of the CI developers (including 100% I personally know off) have moved to Laravel and literally (as in literally) have no plans getting back whatsoever because of this.

I referred to Laravel earlier because it's practically a direct, famous CI competitor and it now has Authentication, API Authentication and Authorization in it. But in any case, 35% are still hoping this gets implemented someday. If not, it would be interesting to see how the framework goes especially now that it's somewhat trying to mirror Laravel's structure, but without its features that previous CI developers favored with.

Long live CodeIgniter!
