Build a User Log-In System using Python and MongoDB
This method uses a basic HTML form and handles log-ins manually (rather than flask-login or flask-auth).
It uses sessions to handle user interactions (rather than cookies).
A better method would be to layer this with other Flask modules, such as flask-login, flask-auth, flask-wtforms, etc.
This tutorial is nevertheless really useful for integrating with MongoDB.
Creating a User Login Session using Python, Flask, and MongoDB
A much simpler and more rudimentary introduction to Flask and MongoDB.
flask-login
- Intro to
flask-login - Build a User Login System with
flask-login,flask-wtforms,flask-bootstrap, andflask-sqlalchemy
A much more robust method that uses the various Flask modules to make a more powerful framework. Uses SQL rather than MongoDB.
