How do I set up user authentication with Flask-Security extensions?

To set up user authentication with Flask-Security, first install the package using pip. Then, configure your Flask app with the necessary security settings.

What are the basic configurations I need to add?

You need to define your user model, set up a database, and configure the security settings like 'SECURITY_PASSWORD_SALT' and 'SECURITY_REGISTERABLE'.

Can you give me an example of a user model?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

from flask_security import UserMixin

class User(db.Model, UserMixin):
    id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key=True)
    email = db.Column(db.String(255), unique=True)
    password = db.Column(db.String(255))

This model includes an ID, email, and password.

How do I handle user registration?

You can use Flask-Security's built-in registration form. Just ensure you have the necessary routes and templates set up.
