Description
Flask-DigestAuth is an HTTP Digest Authentication implementation for Flask applications. It authenticates the user for the protected views.
HTTP Digest Authentication is specified in RFC 2617.
Why HTTP Digest Authentication?
HTTP Digest Authentication has the advantage that it does not send thee actual password to the server, which greatly enhances the security. It uses the challenge-response authentication scheme. The client returns the response calculated from the challenge and the password, but not the original password.
Log in forms has the advantage of freedom, in the senses of both the visual design and the actual implementation. You may implement your own challenge-response log in form, but then you are reinventing the wheels. If a pretty log in form is not critical to your project, HTTP Digest Authentication should be a good choice.
Flask-DigestAuth works with Flask-Login. Log in protection can be separated with the authentication mechanism. You can create protected Flask modules without knowing the actual authentication mechanisms.

You can install Flask-DigestAuth with pip:
pip install Flask-DigestAuth
