No. Auth is not that hard, it's not hard to scale. It's the bloodline of every interaction between you and your customers. Nearly every "web" language has a open source Auth solution with modern jwts or jwts on cookies. Bcrypt and salting solves "storing passwords". Further more once you do it it's highly repeatable across products.

It is one of those things where you need to do some reading and understand what is going on, but I'd argue you should do that for just about everything you are working on.
