Protect your vals behind a password. Use session cookies to persist authentication.

See @pomdtr/password_auth_test

Create val
import { passwordAuth } from "https://esm.town/v/pomdtr/password_auth?v=84";

export default passwordAuth(() => {
  return new Response("OK");
}, { verifyPassword: (password) => password == Deno.env.get("VAL_PASSWORD") });

If you want to use an api token to authenticate:

Create val
import { passwordAuth } from "https://esm.town/v/pomdtr/password_auth?v=84";
import { verifyToken } from "https://esm.town/v/pomdtr/verifyToken";

export default passwordAuth(() => {
  return new Response("OK");
}, { verifyPassword: verifyToken });

• allow to authenticate using a val town token
• add a way to send an email to ask a password from the val owner
• automatically extend the session
• automatically remove expired sessions
