Authentication

i understand the reasons not to implement authentication into CI4 but have to say that in the long term it would really benefit codeigniters userbase to have its own authentication library (maybe as third party library like ionAuth / tankAuth or communityAuth).

if you search github for php auth libraries there arent too many highly active ones.
i guess its because most frameworks bring their own and there isnt too much need for external auth libs.
or i just didnt find the good ones. (codeigniter auth libs are among the most popular btw)

the one i tried is phpauth. its easy to implement but it needs its own database config/connection and a session table in the database.
i guess most external auth libs will require this. so you will end up with 2 database connections and 2 session tables.
i am not too experienced and cant tell if that's a problem or you can just go with it (?)

that said, are there any php auth libraries you can recommend?
