One of the most common ways to authenticate a user is by validating a username and password.
|
||
|
|
As such, Spring Security provides comprehensive support for authenticating with a username and password.

== Reading the Username & Password
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
* xref:servlet/authentication/passwords/form.adoc#servlet-authentication-form[Form Login]
|
||
|
|
* xref:servlet/authentication/passwords/basic.adoc#servlet-authentication-basic[Basic Authentication]
|
||

== Storage Mechanisms
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Each of the supported mechanisms for reading a username and password can leverage any of the supported storage mechanisms:
