Simple Rails authentication
In this video, I show you how to make your own authentication in Ruby on Rails, from scratch. We make use of the has_secure_password module (don’t forget to enable the 'bcrypt' gem) and create a login form, logout and all of the helpers you will need for accessing the current account and prevent pages from being viewed by logged out accounts.
It’s a bit of a longer video and not very polished, let me know in the comments if you appreciate the more raw feel or not.
