I have to agree. I never use generators, and really dislike that authentication is only available with `mix phx.gen.auth`. But speaking of generators, I love this site: https://www.phoenixdiff.org/ https://www.phoenixdiff.org/ — diff your local Phoenix version with the latest one to bring your codebase up to date. I use it every major release to adopt the latest best practices, even if Phoenix has decent backwards compatibility.

> authentication is only available with `mix phx.gen.auth`. What do you mean? You can use other libraries, for instance Guardian or POW.

  You're right, and I have used both. I meant to say that phx.gen.auth is a good starting point, but only available as a generator. There is no easy way to add it to an established project.

    Oh, I see; fair point I agree.
