Why create Flask-Identity?

Currently there are so many security middleware for Flask, most them depends on many extensions/libraries. It’s easy to start but hard to configure because some options are defined by the dependencies.

Flask-Identity is a lightweight security extension with all-in-one configurations and less third dependencies, some codes are direct merged from other successful open-source libraries:

• Flask-Login

• Flask-Security
