My only question is why they built their own login system? Isn't this a golden rule: never build your own auth.
No, the golden rule is never build your own crypto. Building your own auth is damn near inevitable unless you are running a fairly simple operation and off the shelf Django or RoR components are good enough.
Actually, it should be never build your own non-open source crypto.
Not really. Almost every site has its own login system.
auth is easy
