Agreed - a balance needs to be struck. If you happen to be using a library that does all the hard stuff with authentication for you, it's a lot easier... but it's still on YOU to secure the database, among other things. Letting someone else handle the heavy lifting when you're not up to the task yourself is DEFINITELY a good idea - whatever provider you use.

Absolutely agree! Time should be better spent on the core feature and not the repetitive boring login code.
