Add user accounts to my stack
Sign up, log in, log out, and nothing clever.
I'm building <one sentence> with <stack> on <host>, and it now needs user accounts. First, recommend how: this stack's built-in or standard auth library, or a hosted auth service. Pick one for my situation and justify it in three lines. Don't hand-roll password handling. Then the smallest working version: sign up, log in, log out, password reset, and a single check for "is this person logged in". Include the session and cookie settings that matter on this host, especially over HTTPS.
Whatever you choose, check every page that shows data belongs to the person asking. Logged in is not the same as allowed.
