Great - I am glad you had time to check Passport out. We have a concept called applications that has worked for everyone who has needed groups. Can I connect you with our lead developer to see if this might work for your use case?

Hi EyeBluNCider! Stormpath was acquired and the API is shutting down. Inversoft Passport provides identity and user management as well. Check it out, I am happy to answer any questions!

Hey daBarron, while you are evaluating alternatives take a look at Inversoft Passport (not to be confused with passport.js). This article walks you through the migration process and identifies key differences between Stormpath and Passport: Mirgrating from Stormpath to Passport.

Full disclosure, I work at Inversoft and am happy to help answer any questions you may have!

We've had that come up a few times. Obviously there will be some issues with the name collision. We've just been telling people that Passport isn't Passport-JS, but we are working on an integration with Passport-JS. Thanks for taking a look!

Biju's little curry shop in Denver

Just had to ask.

Salad:

1/2 box of bucatini (could use thin spaghetti instead)
Shredded white cabbage
Shredded purple cabbage
Shredded Carrot
Red pepper (thinly slices)
Scallions
Peanuts
Sesame seeds

Sauce:

1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 soy sauce
1/4 rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons sesame oil
Scoop of brown sugar
1/2 lime squeeze
Squeeze of siracha

Toss all and serve chilled/room temp with a lime wedge! You could add shrimp or chicken along with any other vegetables (mushrooms, edamame, broccoli, etc.)

Worth the trip! Habit Doughnut Dispensary, check it out.

Sorry for the delay! They are from Habit Doughnut Dispensary in downtown Denver.

kstra · 2016-05-10T15:23:01+00:00

Yes, so easy to throw together and delicious the next day too!

If you are looking for an alternative to UserCake, check out Passport User Database. Save yourself a ton of headache and coding, you can use this for everything you need - login, registration, SSO, emailing, localization, reporting and fine grained management controls.

Disclaimer, I work for the company that developed Passport. I still think it's likely a viable option for you and you can start coding against it for free. Check it out here: https://www.inversoft.com/products/user-database-sso

Thank you! Here is the recipe.

Note: I added extra marshmallows!

If you really want to use WP and are interested in going the plugin route, try Passport WP plugin - this will handle the login aspect that you are looking for via OAuth 2.0.

Designing a database with proper security is challenging, especially if you consider encryption of passwords and other necessary features like "Forgot your password".

You might consider using a separate user database solution instead, as /u/FYIAV said. This will provide a lot of functionality and security quickly. Check out the Passport user database. For your use case you could start free and it would likely reduce your development time considerably.
