Authentication
Viseron supports authenticating users using a username and password.
It is disabled by default and can be enabled by setting the auth key in the configuration for webserver
webserver:
auth:
The implementation has not been audited by security experts. If you plan to expose Viseron to the internet I suggest coupling it with alternate authentication methods as well, such as Cloudflare Access or a VPN.
Creating the first user
When first enabling authentication, an admin user has to be created.
The frontend will redirect you to an Onboarding page to create the first user when you try to access the web interface.

Adding more users
At the moment there is no way to add more users through the web interface. This will be added in a future release.
Resetting the password
If you forget your password, you can reset it by deleting these files:
/config/.viseron/onboarding
/config/.viseron/auth
After a restart, Viseron will once again prompt you to create an admin user.
