Ask HN: Should you implement your own authentication system?

3 pointsby darumderumalmost 4 years ago
How would you proceed to add a login to your website? Setup a database with bcrypted credentials? Use a service / oss? What are common pitfalls? What's your thought on Auth0, Azure AD B2C, Keycloak, ORY (especially Kratos) and others? Would you still recommand using a full-blown solution if there are just basic customer logins required (not even self registration)?

Why would you not do it yourself? It&#x27;s literally webdev 101.<p>If you offload it to a 3rd party you&#x27;re giving them access to your entire customer base (regardless of what they say), you&#x27;re also introducing multiple points of failure and increasing your attack surface.
