This is a bad piece of advice. Two things I don’t ever want to take responsibility for when starting a project are user authentication and payment processing. I think I know best practices for each, but so does everyone who has gotten hacked.

I don't disagree with you, but the state of affairs is basically a protection racket. If you sell out your users to Facebook, they'll keep you safe from all the other attackers.

Most frameworks come with their own authentication module. I still wouldn’t write my own.
