I don’t know when we became this lazy. Auth is hard, sure, but putting your users table and sessions behind a vendor API is not something cool. Tell me one feature that is not supported by libraries like OpenIddict (You can build around) or Keycloak?

I think the main argument usually is time savings. Personally I just always do E-Mail and password auth, yea its old and not the shiny new thing, but it doesn't require me to integrate 200 different ways of doing auth.

We should be able to demand users remembering their passwords, I dont like to cater towards users who simply dont want to put in the work to use my product.

Will I lose potential users over this? Yes. Does it feel bad knowing I am in control and wont have to offload to 3rd party vendors? Hell no.
