What is everybody using for Auth?

Hello @jimbol,

OK, I realize you posted this in No-Code. But let me just share with you what I use first.

I build my own REST API with a PHP-based API gateway solution called Fusio. It is free and open source and the developer is quite active in responding and developing the project. I even started teaching it to local gov agencies and companies here in Malaysia. I wrote a tutorial ebook about it. So that is what I use for authentication. It is based on JWT or JSON Web Token.

But anyway, since you posted this in the No-Code group, I guess what's more suitable are the hosted options, and not one where you'd have to install yourself.

I did some Googling and research recently for SaaS templates and boilerplates. Among the language specific options, I also found hosted solutions like these. While they are mostly for building SaaS or membership site, which most has strong payment integration, I believe their authentication module should bel able to cover your needs.

• Outseta by an Indiehacker here, @GeoffRoberts. It is mostly for SaaS it comes with subscription management, email marketing, live chat, CRM... basically crucial stuffs after you deployed a SaaS. Outseta is free for up to 25 users.
• Userbase is mainly for Javascript frontend websites and storing of application data. For now, they don't have payment & subscription integration. But seems like a quick nice solution. If you don't need payment, then this is good enough.
• MemberStack is the commonly talked about among no-code builders, and I see it as a popular choice among Webflow users.
• Pabbly which has subscription management, and also option as a suite to add their other tools like email marketing, form builder.

While currently I am using Fusio, mostly for clients, I may consider one of the four if I am building a public facing SaaS.

OK, for more advanced solution, you may want to look at Auth0, Firebase, AWS Cognito, OneLogin, etc.

I hope this helps. Have a great day!

I've been using the Ory stack, which is pretty cool if you want to self host (although it requires some wiring together): https://www.ory.sh

If I were to completely outsource it, I'd go for Auth0 (https://auth0.com)

Implemented JWT + session for my open source SaaS boilerplate https://www.saasforge.dev/

I use Firebase Authentication for all my apps: https://firebase.google.com/docs/auth

I've worked on a lot of projects for all sorts of clients (from startups to banks) and we used Auth0 on a lot of them. In my experience, if your app's auth flow is very similar to Auth0's built-in flow (meaning you don't need to customize it), it is a great solution that saves you a bunch of time, although it's a bit too expensive for small businesses with lots of users.
I'm now using Auth0 in my own startup too (Browse AI).

I coded the back end for my website using Laravel (PHP framework) - so I'm using Laravel Passport for API authentication. How you set up authentication depends on how your service it built and what tech stack you're using. What are you using so far?

I used Amazon Cognito for my latest project. To save time, I even opted to use their “hosted UI” which provides a basic login form with configurable fields. There’s a few limitations tho... for example, I haven’t found a way to add an “accept terms of service” checkbox.

Design has also been limited. It’s good enough for now and saved me a ton of time not having to worry about login and signup forms.

My app SongRender uses a Node backend with express, so I just use bcrypt (for password hashing) + express-session.

On our Webflow sites we use Auth0.
