In this episode we build out login functionality for our Phoenix 1.4 Chat Server. To do this we create the following:

• routes for login and logout
• a Session Controller with new, create and delete actions
• an authenticate_by_email_password helper in the Accounts context
• a Session View (just the default boilerplate like all the other views)
• a new sessions page (i.e. a login page)

Then, finally we add a little bit of visual feedback in the template so we can see who's logged in.
