What is used for authentication in Rails nowadays?
https://github.com/thoughtbot/clearance It is simple and good. You can also customize it easily.
-
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.

Why am I having such a bad time with Rails?
...because some folks prefer clearance to devise! :-D

Passkey Authentication with Rodauth
Rodauth provides first class support for passkeys, implemented on top of the excellent webauthn-ruby gem. It enables using passkeys as a multifactor authentication method, or for passwordless login and registration. In addition to routes, views and database storage, it also provides the complete JavaScript part that interacts with Web Authentication API for zero configuration.

why is devise industry standard?
I can recommend rodauth: https://github.com/jeremyevans/rodauth It ships with a ton of things. Check out the features section.

A First Look at Hanami 2 for Ruby
In general, even though the Hanami ecosystem lacks any "plug-and-play" solutions such as Devise, you can use many existing libraries not tightly coupled to Ruby on Rails. For authentication, you can use Warden, OmniAuth or Rodauth. For uploads there is Shrine. The pagination is built into ROM. Integration with exception catchers such as Rollbar is easy.

Social Login in Rails with Rodauth
While Devise provides a convenience layer around OmniAuth, it does nothing to actually sign the user into your app. When I started writing the OmniAuth integration for Rodauth, I wanted to go one step further and actually handle things like persistence of external identities, account creation and login, while still allowing the developer to customize the behaviour. That's how rodauth-omniauth was created. ✨

Time to think about swapping off Devise?
You can find the list of possible error identifiers here.

I’ve started discussion + work on updating Devise to support passkeys; we need contributors!
You probably meant the webauthn_login, which already supports passwordless.

What It Took to Build a Rails Integration for Rodauth
When Rodauth came out, I was excited to finally have a full-featured authentication framework that wasn't tied to Rails, given that existing solutions required either Rails (Devise, Sorcery), or at least Active Record (Authlogic). Even though I mainly develop in Rails, I want other Ruby web frameworks to be viable alternatives, so I'm naturally drawn to generic solutions that everyone can use.

Web user authentication libraries in Go
I wish there was the equivalent of this lib in go https://github.com/jeremyevans/rodauth
What are some alternatives?
When comparing Clearance and Rodauth you can also consider the following projects:

Sorcery - Magical Authentication
OmniAuth - OmniAuth is a flexible authentication system utilizing Rack middleware.
JWT - A ruby implementation of the RFC 7519 OAuth JSON Web Token (JWT) standard.

Authlogic - A simple ruby authentication solution.
Knock - Seamless JWT authentication for Rails API
rodauth-rails - Rails integration for Rodauth authentication framework
warden-github-rails - Use GitHub as authorization and more. Use organizations and teams as means of authorization by simply wrapping your rails routes in a block. Also useful to get a user's details through OAuth.
