What is used for authentication in Rails nowadays?

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

Rails Authentication for Compliance
Your authentication mechanism should include multiple factors, something the user knows and something the user has. If you are using Devise, you can use the devise-two-factor gem. If you have custom authentication, you can use the rotp gem to generate OTP codes and verify those during login.

Is there any particular gem like Devise which makes the user Login with phone mumber and use otp to Login imstead of a password??
Aside from SMS scams, SMS is the least secure type of 2FA. I recommend implementing OTP via authenticator apps like Authenticator and 1Password. You can use the rotp gem for this: https://github.com/mdp/rotp

How to verify a user email with an activation code rather than an activation link?
What you're describing sounds a lot like OTP https://github.com/mdp/rotp. It's a well known and standard way of issuing one time passwords (typically 6 digits that a user confirms by entering it in).
