This module provides token storage for Passwordless, a node.js module for express that allows website authentication without password using verification through email or other means. Visit the project's website for more details.

Tokens are stored in a PostgreSQL database and are hashed and salted using bcrypt.

First, install the module:

$ npm install passwordless-postgrestore --save

Afterwards, follow the guide for Passwordless. A typical implementation may look like this:

var passwordless = require('passwordless');
var PostgreStore = require('passwordless-postgrestore');

passwordless.init(new PostgreStore('postgres://user:password@localhost/database'));

passwordless.addDelivery(
    function(tokenToSend, uidToSend, recipient, callback) {
        // Send out a token
    });
    
app.use(passwordless.sessionSupport());
app.use(passwordless.acceptToken());

new PostgreStore(connectionString, [options]);

• connectionString: (String) Mandatory. PostgreSQL connection string
• [options]: (Object) Optional. Some configuration option. See below exemple

Example:

passwordless.init(new PostgreStore('postgres://user:password@localhost/database', {
    pgstore: {
        table: 'not_default_table_name',    // *(String)* Optional. Use another table to store token, default is 'passwordless'
        pgPoolSize: '100'                   // *(Number)* Optional. Postgre client pool size
    }
}));

You could use this SQL statement to create the token table, or you can customize it according to your needs :

CREATE TABLE passwordless ( id serial NOT NULL, uid character varying(160), token character varying(60) NOT NULL, origin text NOT NULL, ttl bigint, CONSTRAINT passwordless_pkey PRIMARY KEY (id), CONSTRAINT passwordless_token_key UNIQUE (token), CONSTRAINT passwordless_uid_key UNIQUE (uid) )

As the tokens are equivalent to passwords (even though only for a limited time) they have to be protected in the same way. passwordless-postgrestore uses bcrypt with automatically created random salts. To generate the salt 10 rounds are used.
