I am using NextAuth as my authentication for this project. This is an open source project by Next.js which you can use as an authenticator.
My strategy with this project was to use the least amount of code to get the project done. As a result, this is why I decided to use NextAuth as it is an extendible third party library which you can tie in with Github, Google, etc... and would work well in a big project.
