authbox

A lightweight, modular, async-first authentication framework for Rust.

authbox provides a flexible authentication system built around traits, pluggable components, and Tokio-ready async APIs.

It is designed for applications that need customizable authentication logic without being locked into a specific database, framework, or storage backend.

Features

• Secure password hashing with Argon2
• JWT access + refresh token authentication
• Refresh token rotation
• Refresh token revocation / blacklisting
• Email verification flow
• Password reset flow
• One-time token (OTT) support
• Fully async (tokio)
• Trait-driven architecture
• Pluggable storage backends
• Framework agnostic
• Test-friendly design
• Builder API for ergonomic setup
• Custom registration DTO support

1. Unlike full authentication platforms, authbox does not require a specific:

   • Database
   • ORM
   • Web framework

2. It works with:

   • Axum
   • Actix
   • Warp
   • Rocket
   • Custom applications
