pip install flask-login #for working with user sessions

The flask login extension can work with any user model class regardless of how you implemented it. It needs three attributes and one method to be implemented to make it easy. The extension provides a useful mixin class that you can add as a base class to your model giving you an appropriate implementation for these four elements.
