The secure_delete setting causes deleted content to be overwritten with zeros. There is a small performance penalty since additional I/O must occur.

+# User Authentication
+
+This package supports the SQLite User Authentication module.
+
+## Compile
+
+To use the User authentication module the package has to be compiled with the tag `sqlite_userauth`. See [Features](#features).
+
+## Usage
+
+### Create protected database
+
+To create a database protected by user authentication provide the following argument to the connection string `_auth`.
+This will enable user authentication within the database. This option however requires two additional arguments:
+
+- `_auth_user`
+- `_auth_pass`
+
+When `_auth` is present on the connection string user authentication will be enabled and the provided user will be created
+as an `admin` user. After initial creation, the parameter `_auth` has no effect anymore and can be omitted from the connection string.
+
+Example connection string:
+
+Create an user authentication database with user `admin` and password `admin`.
+
+`file:test.s3db?_auth&_auth_user=admin&_auth_pass=admin`
+
+### Restrictions
+
+Operations on the database regarding to user management can only be preformed by an administrator user.
+
+### Support
+
+The user authentication supports two kinds of users
+
+- administrators
+- regular users
+
+### User Management
+
+User management can be done by directly using the `*SQLiteConn` or by SQL.
+
+#### SQL
+
+The following sql functions are available for user management.
+
+| Function | Arguments | Description |
+|----------|-----------|-------------|
+| `authenticate` | username `string`, password `string` | Will authenticate an user, this is done by the connection; and should not be used manually. |
+| `auth_user_add` | username `string`, password `string`, admin `int` | This function will add an user to the database.
if the database is not protected by user authentication it will enable it. Argument `admin` is an integer identifying if the added user should be an administrator. Only Administrators can add administrators. |
+| `auth_user_change` | username `string`, password `string`, admin `int` | Function to modify an user. Users can change their own password, but only an administrator can change the administrator flag. |
+| `authUserDelete` | username `string` | Delete an user from the database. Can only be used by an administrator. The current logged in administrator cannot be deleted. This is to make sure their is always an administrator remaining. |
+
+These functions will return an integer.
+
+- 0 (SQLITE_OK)
+- 23 (SQLITE_AUTH) Failed to perform due to authentication or insufficient privileges
+
+##### Examples
+
+```sql
+// Autheticate user
+// Create Admin User
+SELECT auth_user_add('admin2', 'admin2', 1);
+
+// Change password for user
+SELECT auth_user_change('user', 'userpassword', 0);
+
+// Delete user
+SELECT user_delete('user');
+```
+
+#### *SQLiteConn
+
+The following functions are available for User authentication from the `*SQLiteConn`.
+
+| Function | Description |
+|----------|-------------|
+| `Authenticate(username, password string) error` | Authenticate user |
+| `AuthUserAdd(username, password string, admin bool) error` | Add user |
+| `AuthUserChange(username, password string, admin bool) error` | Modify user |
+| `AuthUserDelete(username string) error` | Delete user |
+
+### Attached database
+
+When using attached databases. SQLite will use the authentication from the `main` database for the attached database(s).
