I've built auth systems from scratch and used third party auth services. Doing it from scratch always feels reasonable at first when it's just basic username and password, But I start to regret it once a client starts asking for more features. MFA, federation, auditing seem to inevitably become requirements at some point.
If going with a third-party service, my advice would be to make sure you understand how to export the data out of the system, including hashed passwords using a non-proprietary algorithm.
