In most B2B cases you really don’t want to self host authentication. Really.

There are plenty of identity providers out there who will worry about hashing passwords, resetting them, 2FA, etc. Most client businesses already have identities via one of those for all their employees (read: users of your APIs or apps).

Unfortunately nearly all of the open source solutions out there do exactly what you said, they start with (required) self-hosting authentication. Not helpful.

What’s more relevant to businesses is authorization using existing IdPs (shameless plug: https://github.com/DMGT-TECH/the-usher-server)
