## The Hook

Auth.js is authentication you own—with all the maintenance that implies.

## What's Good

Provider support is comprehensive: OAuth, credentials, email magic links, and WebAuthn. The database adapter system works with your existing stack. The v5 rewrite improved Edge Runtime support and TypeScript types significantly.

## The Catch

You are building the UI, handling edge cases, and managing the infrastructure. Provider quirks require debugging.

## Verdict

Maximum control for teams willing to own their auth.
