"Auth" is also super overloaded. OP is an authentication or AuthN tool which is not the same nor does it encompass authorization or AuthZ. I'm partial to using the terms "identity" and "permissions" instead.
The example in the video even has the name `authorizer` in the default export, but really it's an `authenticator` or `identifyer` or `isThisUserWhoTheySayTheyArer` – not a `shouldTheyHaveAccessizer`.
I'm in total agreement with you but I guess the AuthN/AuthZ train left the station ages ago and no one outside of the business of selling these tools actually care. Oh well.. :o)

yeah this is a naming mistake a realized but thankfully in beta so can rework it
it used to be called authenticator! mixed it up unintentionally
