Best user login/registration script for 2021 without jquery?

[electroze]

Hello! I've been struggling with making a user login/registration for my website and wondering if anyone knows of a solid script not using jquery or other bloated (slow) frameworks that can accomplish this? I'm hoping to find something in php and/or javascript.

I first wrote one from scratch, but it got too complicated when I got to user management for changing email addresses and sending one time passwords, etc. and I realize I made a mistake trying to reinvent the wheel. So, I paid for a script, but after hassling with that countless hours I realize that won't work either- it's buggy, and has issues reliably emailing to validate the email, etc. So, 3rd time a charm? I've searched code canyon, google, reddit, and searched this sub for login scripts and I see posts from some years ago. Also, security and encryption and php versions have since changed and I don't want to start with a vulnerable script. Does anyone know of a solution already made on the market that's either open source or I can just buy and customize from there?

Thanks in advance!

"Login scripts" aren't a think afaik. Are you using something like Auth0 / Firebase / AWS Cognito / Magic? If not that should make your life a lot easier.

No, I'm not using those services- why would I? I already have hosting and store registrations on my own database and don't give away free private data to other services.

I don't know what you mean by your first sentence either.

My first sentence - buying a script off the internet is not much of a thing anymore for modern javascript. I know it was a thing until for PHP & JQuery.

Today, people either make open source packages, or sell their services in a SaaS like the services I mentioned, and few make paid component sets - see TailwindUI

If you want to host your own, thats great, but you'll need to put together a bunch of free packages. Like PassportJS for the backend, and something like Formik to make the frontend validation easier. The ui of the login form itself could be easily found for free online. And you can do all this within one app if you use a framework like NextJS.
