Time to think about swapping off Devise?

• Devise

  93 23,710 7.1 Ruby

  Flexible authentication solution for Rails with Warden.

  

I agree in principle, but in practice I see why the "out of the box" experience is not great for new Rails apps since compatibility with Turbo is still an unresolved issue: https://github.com/heartcombo/devise/issues/5446

• rails-authentication-from-scratch

  13 215 1.8 Ruby

  A step-by-step guide on how to build your own authentication system in Rails from scratch.

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/

• Rodauth

  18 1,621 8.2 Ruby

  Ruby's Most Advanced Authentication Framework

You can find the list of possible error identifiers here.

• warden

  7 2,456 0.0 Ruby

  General Rack Authentication Framework

  

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.

• authentication-zero

  15 1,313 8.0 Ruby

  An authentication system generator for Rails applications.

I prefer to use authentication-zero, which generates code for me in the same application using has_secure_password, has good security practices, uses the same functions as Rails, and allows me to modify the flow to my liking.
