Or they could set up something like https://goauthentik.io/? (Shameless plug: if you use my Docker dashboard, https://lunni.dev/, you can install it in a couple clicks from the Marketplace.) Or any other open source option – there are dozens at this point.
And honestly speaking, auth isn’t that hard in the first place. You do have to remember a few things, but if you follow something like https://lucia-auth.com/ it shouldn’t take you more than an hour to set up some decent auth with 2FA and OIDC support. A bit more time to implement sign-in rate limiting and email verification and you have a robust system that (a) works in a way that you understand and (b) you can reuse between projects without paying a dime.

Authelia and Lldap: Authentication, SSO, User Management[ ] for Home Networks
While authelia is quite cool "infra-as-code" tool, since you have your entire configuration in yaml form, for those not willing to spend a few evenings configuring SSO, there is authentik [1] which features management UI.
Offers similar feature set, also self-hostable, but most importantly - simple to set-up. I've spent 8h on authelia deployment, where 30 minutes in authentik would be sufficient. But both are good options, pick what you prefer.

Ask HN: Who is hiring? (June 2024)
Authentik Security | Engineer | US | REMOTE (anywhere) | Full-time
Authentik Security (https://goauthentik.io) is the company behind authentik (https://github.com/goauthentik/authentik), an open source identity provider with over 250k+ unique installations and 12M+ downloads. Help us replace Okta/Auth0, Ping Identity, and Microsoft Entra with modern, secure identity for all!
We are a small remote team, looking to scale up with a couple experienced software engineers, primarily with a backend focus. Bonus points if you have significant experience with identity/SSO standards and/or Django/Python.
There is also the opportunity to be "forward deployed" spending 15-20% of time with enterprise customers (remotely) on configuration best practices and rollout strategies, _if_ that is of interest to the right candidate.
To apply, please use: https://forms.gle/TjRuTCec8M6UaN2Q8
