I think it's because so many sites rely on very simplistic log-in systems for the sake of simplicity. Sometimes it's easier to just make a basic thing on your own than it is to use somebody else's system.
- bporterfield 19y agoAgreed that it should be simple, but it seems that there's enough room for error with security, sessions, etc, and enough functionality that needs to be built out that's common (mass email, sign-up email, sign-up verification email, for example) that I'm quite surprised that I'd have to build out my own solution. I'd imagine a few open-source php classes and one or two standard DB tables would do the trick, and maybe a simple interface for managing users and emails.
- unalone 19y agoTrue. I'm not much of a coder but this seems like it might be easy enough to try out. I might give this a go, if it's not done by the summer (which is when I have free time again).
