Although NextAuth is very popular, it has recently lost ground to new frameworks. NextAuth presents a complex layer when it comes to implementing authentication. However, Clerk, for example, offers more authentication and user management options with a user-friendly dashboard.

NextAuth.js is not easy to use, they made a new auth lib call Auth.js now

Firebase is great for handling authentication using email/password. But if you want to use other providers (like Google or Apple Auth), setting up Firebase will seem like a nightmare (from personal experience), that's why I didn't add Firebase to the list.
