Improvements

  • When using the verify_account_grace_period feature, if the grace period has expired for currently logged in session, require_login will clear the session and redirect to the login page. This is implemented by having the unverified_account_session_key store the time of expiration, as an integer.

  • The previously private require_account method is now public. The method is used internally by Rodauth to check that not only is the current session logged in, but also that the account related to the currently logged in session still exists in the database. The only reason you would want to call require_account instead of require_authentication is if you want to handle cases where there can be logged in sessions for accounts that have been deleted.

  • Rodauth now avoids an unnecessary bcrypt hash calculation when updating accounts when using the account_password_hash_column configuration method.

  • When WebAuthn token last use times are displayed, Rodauth now uses a fixed format of YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS, instead of relying on Time#to_s. If this presents an problem for your application, please open an issue and we can add a configuration method to control the behavior.

  • A typo in the default value of global_logout_label in the active_sessions feature has been fixed.
