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

Comments

We use Django’s built in auth on an extensive Django site.

We have sign in with Facebook, but implemented ourselves, total of about 200 lines of code plus tests, which was worth it to us to own over having a dependency.

We have various custom additions to the auth flows which have meant the decision to stay with Django’s auth and not use complex extensions such as social-auth or all-auth have paid off enormously.

We use python social auth on internal Django based sites for simple Google SSO, but they have far fewer requirements around auth, and aren’t performance sensitive at all.
