I do see the appeal of this kind of service. I understand enough about security to know that it is diffiult to get right.

The library approach that I have tried with things like django etc. tend to need plugins for a lot of use cases, and I do not understand what pieces of code are intereactig with each other which is a big red flag. More complex SSO systems seem massively overcomplicated and difficult to configure.

I want something with the simplicity and definitiveness of an apache htpasswd file with a freindly user interface and assurances about security/hashing etc.
