Devise. love it or hate it?
Clearance has been better for most of my projects. Its got a cleaner implementation that Devise, and comes with a generator that will optionally dump all of the basic routes and views into the standard locations which you can then edit at will.

What's going on with Devise for Rails 7 ?!
I tend to suggest Clearance for Rails apps that need a more focused toolset. It may not do everything that Devise does, but it definitely works well with Rails 7. https://rubygems.org/gems/clearance/versions/2.5.0

Simple, secure, low maintenance auth that doesn’t rely on Facebook, Google etc?
I've found a much simpler/cleaner authentication gem is Clearance. Devise does just about everything, but Clearance is more opinionated so out of the box it does more of what you normally want.

Ruby on Rails: Native route constraint for authentication
Since Rails 7, there's more and more tooling that enables us, developers, to roll our own authentication. Devise is great and has been an amazing companion over the years. It also has this neat little feature - an authenticated route constraint which "hides" certain routes from people that are not signed in.
