NextAuth also intentionally made username-password authentication difficult to use because they think signing in with your Twitter or Google account is better.

Meanwhile their home page advertises “own your data”.

yeah, and you cant have something like api keys

Didn't know about this. I started a new personal project using NextAuth but without the username/pass features. Might have to reconsider since I may eventually add that back in.

If not NextAuth/Auth.js, then passport.js?

But it's the ONLY webscale database [0]

Have you heard of this new db called dev/null? It’s super fast and web scale!

> Also please stop using mongodb

Shouldn't be hard to replace with sqlite

what other good recommendations do you have for auth?
