"Auth" is also super overloaded. OP is an authentication or AuthN tool which is not the same nor does it encompass authorization or AuthZ. I'm partial to using the terms "identity" and "permissions" instead.
- mstade 2y agoThe example in the video even has the name `authorizer` in the default export, but really it's an `authenticator` or `identifyer` or `isThisUserWhoTheySayTheyArer` – not a `shouldTheyHaveAccessizer`. I'm in total agreement with you but I guess the AuthN/AuthZ train left the station ages ago and no one outside of the business of selling these tools actually care. Oh well.. :o)
- thdxr 2y agoyeah this is a naming mistake a realized but thankfully in beta so can rework it it used to be called authenticator! mixed it up unintentionally
