Comment on Ask HN: How do you currently solve authentication?parent

Depends. Spending years researching security and finding as many possible attack vectors and accounting for those, plus, building tests for the situations will make for a very hardened system.

More eyes on security, can also mean a short time of eyes by a single person on a single problem - missing the bigger picture. Adding to the problem, security researchers are very few and very busy (I've hired). They don't have time to look at open source code, unless there's a possible reward (that's big enough).
