Flask-security login and logout
How do you log a user in and out in Flask using the Flask-Security extension?
I just started using flask-security, and going through the documentation here http://pythonhosted.org/Flask-Security/api.html , I can't really figure out how to explicitly log a user in and out, as well as authenticate the user before logging them in.
Answer
Flask-Security uses Flask-Login. So you can do the following as per documentation:
login_user(user) # where user is your user object
logout_user()
Obviously, you still need to write your views where you will validate the form submissions etc before calling these methods and do the proper template rendering or redirects as needed.
