Widget vs Custom Signup & Login?

Looking to get an understanding of how developers would prefer having their signup and login implemented for a company providing session management. Would you prefer it if you were able to import a customizable widget that handled the entire user signup/login for you, or implement this yourself and simply send the login request to the session management system?

    🤔 Could you be a bit more specific as to how the signup / login flow would be working? Do you mean a 3rd part service like Auth0?

    I've dealt with Auth0 in the past and it was really simple to integrate into our website. Another benefit was that they offered an API you could talk to programmatically which was a nice thing to have for our CLI product (we worked on developer toolings).

    Other than that I'd usually prefer a non-Widget login system given that some AdBlockers might cause some trouble + there are users who have JavaScript disabled (that sounds crazy but we ran into that a lot).
