Vue Basic Captcha

Template project of a Vue.js application with basic authentication & captcha integration in Go

This template is great for making a quick responsive Vue.js project protected by username/password with captcha with vuetify and vuex out of the box. Redis is used to store the session & the username/password (password is hashed & salted).
