I have here a brief authentication script (well, a hundred lines or so of python) that just allows very simple user authentication and management, without any additional components, or even using the forms control. It’s been developed in version 0.55 just to make sure that it’s widely compatible! T…

Thank you - some brilliant comments. I completely agree that the intermediate dictionary is a better choice - I’ve already moved to this in my own code. I am avoiding using any explicit session state functions with this script - partly for simplicity and partly so that it works even with older vers…

@madflier This is pretty cool. Thanks for sharing

Nice job, and I can see this being useful for simple use cases. [image] madflier: mode = st.radio("Select mode", ("View", "Create", "Edit", "Delete")) { "View": _list_users, "Create": _create_users, "Edit": _edit_users, "Delete": _delete_users, }[mode]( conn ) # I'm not sur…

No worries. Thanks for sharing. [image] madflier: I still dislike calling an arbitrary function from a dictionary with this syntax, but I accept that it’s pretty pythonic. This pattern is as old as the hills… it’s called a function dispatcher.

[image] asehmi: Add _logout() so the user doesn’t auto-logout when the password field is empty Hold the user in st.session_state Add a method, e.g. authenticated() which validates the logged in user state making it easier to use in client programs It is hard to me , can you share the code he…

It’s called a function dispatcher Yup, I dislike the multiple dispatch syntax in python. But that’s just me!

Yes, I initially added hashing for the password, and it would be best practice. As I mentioned in the OP, there is no password hashing here, and the main reason (other than simplicity) is the streamlit execution model. The hashing would be done for every script run, and as a password hash is meant t…
