Which authentication services do you use in your application?

Question

Authentication is very crucial part in most applications. I have a big journey of using different authentication services. All started with AWS Cognito. Unfortunately, there were a lot of headaches with restrictions or functions that were missing. We then switched to Auth0. We then switched to Frontegg, as they are perfect for a SaaS.

I prefer to handle the authentication part myself. It just feels more safe and you don't have to rely on a third party for authentication.

I typically go for session based approach using redis, this way I can keep track of the user's sessions and revoke them on demand.

Niklas, it seems you've had quite the journey with authentication services! We've settled on using Firebase Authentication for its ease of integration and scalability, which has been a game-changer for our SaaS platform.

I've had a similar journey, Niklas, starting with Firebase Authentication for its ease of integration, but recently I've been leaning towards Okta for its robustness and developer-friendly experience, especially for enterprise-level applications. It's fascinating how each service has its unique strengths!
