An Introduction to Devise for Ruby on Rails
Devise is an authentication library built on top of Warden, a Rack-based authentication framework.
-
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.

Time to think about swapping off Devise?
There hasn't been a lot that has changed to how sessions are managed. Warden itself hasn't had much by way of updates in years, but you didn't even mention that.
-
Which authentication gems to use aside from devise?
Do you use system tests in authlogic? Devise (or more precisely, Warden) has has a helper that sets the user on next request.
-
Recommended Auth gem for Jr-level developers?
Devise is probably the most popular option out there. If you're learning to apply your skills in the wild then I'd recommend Devise. In my opinion, there's a learning curve, especially if you want to customize it more. You can also learn the underlying Ruby gem called warden.
-
What's going on with Devise for Rails 7 ?!
Warden perhaps? It's the actual authentication part Devise uses.
-
Devise only allow one session per user at the same time
Despite this approach works, it's polluting the controller with authentication logic. Given that Devise uses Warden under the hood, the same can be achieved by taking advantage of warden callbacks that will always get executed when a meaningful event is triggered.

What is your favorite authentication solution?
You can certainly roll your own authentication with Rails and feel very confident about it. One such example: https://stevepolito.design/blog/rails-authentication-from-scratch

Found this absolute gem of a function in the company repo, file is called "login_system.js"
The owasp cheatsheet is probably the best resource https://cheatsheetseries.owasp.org/cheatsheets/Authentication_Cheat_Sheet.html, there's also this rails tutorial https://stevepolito.design/blog/rails-authentication-from-scratch that incorporates some (but not all) good practices that covers implementation details, but are broadly applicable to any language and framework

Time to think about swapping off Devise?
Devise not being Hotwire compatible is a huge turnoff for me. Honestly if I were staring a new project today I’d probably go with a “hand rolled” authentication. I haven’t done it myself but I know a lot of thought was put into this guide if you were interested in that route: https://stevepolito.design/blog/rails-authentication-from-scratch/

Rails 7.1 adds authenticate_by when using has_secure_password
For those who are interested in building their own authentication, I would also recommend reading https://stevepolito.design/blog/rails-authentication-from-scratch/

So you Want to use auth?
I will not go fully in detail about how to make your own Authentication from scrap, although a really useful blog that does do that can be found here. I will be going over the logic behind it.

Authentication Zero - rails g authentication user
This looks promising and I'd love to have the full control on my application. And recently I went through this repo https://github.com/stevepolitodesign/rails-authentication-from-scratch with a lot of details on how Devise works under the hood. It makes it really easy to understando all the different chunks of code and how the work all together.
