We actually stopped using "auth" on my team and adjacent teams because it is such an overloaded term. The main things we have to deal with are authentication versus authorization, and people use auth regularly for both. So we try to stop people from using it.

    I still don't love those. In my crazy personal web framework I went with "enticate" and "orize", just hacking the "auth" off the front. Unambiguous, and easy to keep straight, but probably not euphonious enough to ever catch on.
