I made a custom e-commerce from scratch with PHP and doing the auth system wasn’t hard at all and it is pretty secure. I feel people make auth seem scarier than it really is.
- petewailes 5y agoDon't roll your own auth. I seriously doubt you're going to do a better job at security than the AaaS systems out there. I couldn't, and no-one I know could. It's a ludicrously complex and subtle field.
- dvdkon 5y agoHow did you evaluate the auth implementations? In my experience it's about as hard to poke holes into something as it is to fix it. Besides, a custom auth implementation doesn't need to be best-in-class, it needs to just be good enough.

- scrollaway 5y ago> the auth system wasn’t hard at all and it is pretty secure If there ever was a red flag in what you're saying, this is it. Auth isn't "scary". But it is hard. You need to know what you're doing in order to implement it from scratch. If you think it wasn't hard, odds are you did it wrong.
