It is a bit baffling to me that devs are so willing to outsource key components of their app like auth to third parties that have 0 interoperability Rolling your own auth is not hard nor dangerous today - there are tons of frameworks that give you the exact same devex without the vendor lockin

We uses EIP-191 signatures. Could have used EIP-712 SIWE, but EIP-191 is more compact and doesn't require a contract.

I would suggest that devs choose services like Privy not for the devex benefits but for the UX benefits, especially if the goal is to offer a broad array of auth methods (wallet + social + email)...

Exactly, that's why I was so disappointed when I saw Warpcast using Privy for the wallet and other authentication needs. They already used a wallet library because you imported the private key, and on top of that, they added Privy. It looked super unprofessional. Warpcast's wallet should have been implemented with the internal wallet library they used. For me, this was akin to something like Facebook using Google authentication as their main implementation. Rule number one for any company that wants to be considered a social network: never use third-party authentication and security systems.

Troubles of rolling your own auth are so overexaggerated because these companies only make money through vendor lock in "OMG but you have to build a reset password flow?" Okay? Its not hard lol

The classic buy it or build it — companies just would rather buy these days, but with the rise in more Cursor products? Could be quicker to build auth solutions 🤔
