Thanks Carlos I couldnt find the login_user() function in the book but i did find it here: https://web2py.readthedocs.io/en/latest/_modules/gluon/tools.html#Auth.login_user
Does login_user(self, user) essentially bypass the normal authentication process? And is login_bare(self, username, password) the normal login function?
