So relieved to ditch subscription fees with Authgear ONCE! The policy setup is beginner-friendly, though I wish their deployment docs were more detailed.

Been doing vibe coding for a while and user auth is always a nightmare. AI spits out messy code that’s either insecure or missing key features. Authgear ONCE handled all the complex parts for authentication by plug-and-play: login, sessions, MFA, social auth, without me having to glue everything together, and it is a complete and secure solution. Support was also quick and actually helpful when I hit a snag. Solid experience overall.
