NanoAuth is a super stripped down Rails authentication module. It's comprised (so far) of one file that provides some additional methods to be mixed in to your User model. Over the years I kept tweaking code in various projects and continued to see the same boiler plate code for: * authentication a user via User.authenticate(email,password) * encrypt(password) * authenticated?(password) \ So I decided on some down time to pull all this stuff out and make a nice little gem of it.
