I'm building a website using Flask in which I'm now trying to use Flask_Security for token based authentication. I now want to get an auth_token from the user, for which I use the get_auth_token() method. Unfortunately I get the stacktrace below this message.

Does anybody know what's wrong? All tips are welcome!

Traceback (most recent call last):

You need to initialize the extension for your app.

security = Security()
security.init_app(app, user_datastore)

See the quickstart in the docs.
