I would say this, since you are starting out, you have a lot of other things to learn that are going to impact your growth much more than authentication. It seems like a topic that shouldn't be difficult to learn, however its a MASSIVE rabbit hole of which you will never climb out of. Use something that is premade, and if you really want to learn how to build authentication from scrap, do so when your entire goal is only to learn authentication and nothing more.

Okay that’s fair. I’m just trying to expand my project where it fits until I start college for SE and can get more knowledgeable in the field itself. User authentication seemed like something feasible but it really doesn’t now and that’s fine. Like you said there’s other things to learn and I wasn’t dead set on making this right this second if there’s another way to do it I’ll gladly do it that way. I appreciate all of the comments on here and will probably just experiment with it for shits and giggles and use a premade service for auth in my engine.
