I usually write it myself with Django, Django REST Framework and JWTs alongside either Vue.js or Ember (and their with libraries).

Truth be told, I usually hate having to do it. That said I’ve never found a reasonable alternative.

There are usually differences in each set up that require customisation (for example magic links like you mentioned) and trying to integrate a platform like auth0 feels like it would be as much work.

I also don’t like the idea of the inevitable migration when I need something else it doesn’t offer, it goes out of business or gets acquired.

Regarding magic links, this is where you are emailed a link and login ?

Do you know any libraries that make this easy ? Looking for this myself using Django.
