auth-module VS nuxt3-auth

Nuxt 3 comes with built-in utilities to support session and authentication. We are working on a new official module.

The evolution of nuxt-auth: there's nuxt/auth (Nuxt 2), an alternative module to try to bridge the gap for Nuxt 3 (and another one), and suddenly, sidebase/nuxt-auth popped up, which seems to wrap next-auth. I don't know if that's the proposed official solution going forward, reuse don't reinvent, or just a stop-gap measure (will the rug get pulled again?)

If you’re on nuxt 2 you can checkout the „old“ nuxt-auth which supports google and a lot of stuff surrounding it here: https://auth.nuxtjs.org/

If this is to do with user authentication and the API is using some kind of standard way of authenticating (e.g. a REST API) I would personally use https://auth.nuxtjs.org/ to do the heavy lifting for you.

Nuxt Auth module is very convenient to configure oauth and oidc authentication. And it wires everything in a project like routes, store, Axios interceptors etc..
