Simple

Simple authentication (or simple auth) is a basic username and password combination. It's the default for Drop, and is the fallback authentication mechanism if Drop is unable to initialise any others.

Simple authentication works on a system of invites.

Creating an invite

Head to your Drop Admin dashboard, and click on the 'Users' tab. Then, head to the authentication panel by clicking the 'Authentication →' button.

Then, on the "Simple" auth, click the three-dot menu, and configure. Then, create an invite with the button and modal.

Disabling simple auth

If you've configured another authentication mechanism, you can disable simple by setting the environment variable DISABLE_SIMPLE_AUTH to "true".
