Configuring Quart-Auth

The following configuration options are used by Quart-Auth. They should be set as part of the standard Quart configuration.

Configuration key	type	default
QUART_AUTH_COOKIE_DOMAIN	Optional[str]	None
QUART_AUTH_COOKIE_NAME	str	QUART_AUTH
QUART_AUTH_COOKIE_PATH	str	/
QUART_AUTH_COOKIE_HTTP_ONLY	bool	True
QUART_AUTH_COOKIE_SAMESITE	Union[None, “Strict”, “Lax”]	Strict
QUART_AUTH_COOKIE_SECURE	bool	True
QUART_AUTH_DURATION	int	365 * 24 * 60 * 60
QUART_AUTH_SALT	str	quart auth salt

The COOKIE related options refer directly to standard cookie options. In development it is likely that you’ll need to set QUART_AUTH_COOKIE_SECURE to False.

Secret key

Quart also requires the app to have a secret key set SECRET_KEY in the Quart configuration. If you are unsure how to create a secret key use this snippet,

>>> import secrets
>>> secrets.token_urlsafe(16)
