Everything was going great until I installed Devise!
I have been using devise for a while and it has consistently given me issues. I have wistfully been staring at sorcery for a while now but cant justify the switch since devise is already in the project.

Build a password authentication feature with Sorcery gem.
I made a 8 minutes video tutorial (following the wiki: https://github.com/Sorcery/sorcery/wiki/Simple-Password-Authentication) to introduce how to build a simple password authentication feature with Sorcery. With some minor modification to please Turbo.

Authentication with Sorcery, RSpec, and Rails 7: Building a simple Rails CMS - Part 1
We'll be installing Sorcery based off this tutorial in their wiki. I'm modifying a little bit since we are creating something different, but also because their tutorial is a bit outdated since it is based off an older version of Rails.

A November of WTFs
But does it have to be so soon? There are other areas where I'm just as ignorant as I was about the inner workings of authentication (see "the database" below), and in these areas there's not a gem that can automatically solve the problem for me—which is what I've ended up doing for authentication in my own project: even though I could build authentication from scratch, instead I'm using an authentication gem because the effect is exactly the same, but with less code in my app for me to maintain. (Rather than Devise, I've chosen the more lightweight alternative Sorcery. It's simple enough that I can still understand and control the authentication flow, while also providing enough conveniences that I don't have to write out implementation details from scratch.)

Why there is no simple default auth in Rails?
Also Sorcery is, despite its name, a little less magic than Devise.

Managing redirects to a subdomain after authentication in a React/Rails application using React Router
I have a React single page application using React Router that hooks into a Rails 5 API. The Rails application uses devise_token_auth for authentication. I've successfully created an authentication process that stores the user state in a Redux store on the client side.

Is it possible to retrieve the user index with devise ?
Did you send an authorization header with your api call? The error is pretty clear — the request is unauthorized. Devise is expecting session cookies, but your api should use tokens. https://github.com/lynndylanhurley/devise_token_auth

Don't make me think, or why I switched to Rails from JavaScript SPAs
I mentioned Identity in my first comment. I've never found it as simple as Devise though - especially in an API only setting.
With Devise there's a third-party Gem you can use called devise_token_auth which deals with everything automatically.

Working around un-maintained redux-token-auth for redux and react 17 upgrade
redux-token-auth is a great library. What it mainly does is it provides a plug and play auth implementation functionality for ruby on rails based APIs which implement popular devise_token_auth for auth handling.

Best project setup for Rails+React with "remember me" feature
I'd prefer to have a standalone rails API and a react client separately, but that's not mandatory. I discovered a gem called devise_token_auth and it didn't seem to have refresh tokens but it refreshed the tokens on every request anyway so I was pretty happy with it.
