Hello, I've added a small blockquote below the description to indicate that this method of accessing an indefinite number of function arguments has been superseded by the use of the spread operator via rest parameters for ES6+ compatibility.

+# Scaffold Auth Functionality With Rails 8 Generator
+
+Rails 8 added a built-in generator for authentication that scaffolds the core
+models, controllers, views, routes, etc. needed for a basic email/password
+authentication flow. It creates a `User` model, if one doesn't already exist,
+as the authenticated object. It uses the `bcrypt` gem for password hashing,
+etc.
+
+Here is an example of what you get when running the generator on a relatively
+new Rails 8 project:
+
+```bash
+$ bin/rails generate authentication
+      invoke  tailwindcss
+      create    app/views/passwords/new.html.erb
+      create    app/views/passwords/edit.html.erb
+      create    app/views/sessions/new.html.erb
+      create  app/models/session.rb
+      create  app/models/user.rb
+      create  app/models/current.rb
+      create  app/controllers/sessions_controller.rb
+      create  app/controllers/concerns/authentication.rb
+      create  app/controllers/passwords_controller.rb
+      create  app/channels/application_cable/connection.rb
+      create  app/mailers/passwords_mailer.rb
+      create  app/views/passwords_mailer/reset.html.erb
+      create  app/views/passwords_mailer/reset.text.erb
+      create  test/mailers/previews/passwords_mailer_preview.rb
+      insert  app/controllers/application_controller.rb
+       route  resources :passwords, param: :token
+       route  resource :session
+        gsub  Gemfile
+      bundle  install --quiet
+    generate  migration CreateUsers email_address:string!:uniq password_digest:string! --force
+       rails  generate migration CreateUsers email_address:string!:uniq password_digest:string! --force
+      invoke  active_record
+      create    db/migrate/20250115224625_create_users.rb
+    generate  migration CreateSessions user:references ip_address:string user_agent:string --force
