It's so cheap to use a SaaS auth provider like Auth0 or Clerk.dev that you might as well implement one of them. It should take less than a day.

- babyent 2y agoFor sure. I'm already using Auth0, but their managed universal UI wasn't going to work with my invite process, as well as my overall user management system. So, I spent a couple days building custom UIs and hooking everything up so it works. I guess if people ask for oauth, I can set it up later and just spend another day and test that everything works. And if they want SSO I'm not sure how that works so I'll have to research it anyway.
- admissionsguy 2y agoLikely I am too old, but I completely don't get the idea of using an external service for authentication. Cynically, I have started to suspect that implementing basic mechanisms such as authentication is a lost art among programmers with short attention spans raised on social media and Skibidi Toilet. More charitably, is could be an issue of switching to a new technology every three years, so best practices for implementing this stuff don't have time to be developed.
- iamflimflam1 2y agoI would hardly call auth0 cheap. As soon as you need any real features (such as SSO) you will be on their enterprise plan…
- babyent 2y agoWhat’s a good cheaper managed solution? Thanks
