Ask HN: User authentication libraries?

2 pointsby bean013 yıl önce2 comments

When building an MVP quickly, I've found it useful to use existing 3rd-party libraries, such as Parse, Stripe, Filepicker.io, Mixpanel, etc.

Does such a library exist for user authentication? Such as login forms, forgot password forms, etc.

I like using Mozilla's Persona library https://login.persona.org/. Very easy to integrate, you actually get the username they registered with, and (IMO) it doesn't have the trust baggage that comes with using Facebook/Twitter logins

These can be non-trivial to integrate, but consider using third party authentication like https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/OAuth2Login.
