:balloon: Try the Demo App

:rocket: Features

  • One-line authentication frontend
  • Password hashing using the award-winning Argon2 algorithm
  • Inbuilt password constraint checks
  • Create new account, login to existing account, or login as guest
  • Hash existing plaintext passwords in one-line of code
  • Auto-collapses and disables the form on successful authentication

:building_construction: Installation

  1. Install st-login-form
pip install st-login-form
  1. Create a Supabase project as mentioned here
  2. Create a table to store the usernames and passwords. A sample DDL query is shown below:
CREATE TABLE users (
    username text not null default ''::text,
    password text not null,
    constraint users_pkey primary key (username),
    constraint users_username_key unique (username),
    constraint users_password_check check (
      (
        length(
          trim(
            both
            from
              password
          )
        ) > 1
      )
    ),
    constraint users_username_check check (
      (
        length(
          trim(
            both
            from
              username
          )
        ) > 1
      )
    )
  ) tablespace pg_default;
  1. Follow the rest of the steps from here to connect your Streamlit app to Supabase

:pen: Usage

On authentication, login_form() sets the st.session_state['authenticated'] to True. This also collapses and disables the login form.
st.session_state['username'] is set to the provided username for a new or existing user, and to None for guest login.

import streamlit as st

from st_login_form import login_form

client = login_form()

if st.session_state["authenticated"]:
    if st.session_state["username"]:
        st.success(f"Welcome {st.session_state['username']}")
        ...

    else:
        st.success("Welcome guest")
        ...
else:
    st.error("Not authenticated")

:key: Hashing existing plaintext passwords

Plaintext password for a user is automatically hashed during a login attempt.

To bulk-update all existing plaintext passwords in the table, use the hash_current_passwords() method.
