## What it is
A suite of TypeScript packages providing fullstack authentication and accounts management for JavaScript applications, supporting GraphQL and REST transports with pluggable database adapters (Mongo, TypeORM, MikroORM) and auth strategies (password, OAuth, magic link). It handles user creation, JWT session management, email verification, and two-factor authentication with opinionated security defaults.

## Use cases
- add email/password login to a GraphQL API
- manage user accounts and JWT sessions in a Node.js app
- implement OAuth social login with GitHub or Google
- add two-factor authentication to a REST API
- store users in MongoDB or PostgreSQL with a flexible auth layer
- replace Meteor's accounts system in a non-Meteor JavaScript app

## When to choose
- you need a modular, database-agnostic auth solution for JavaScript/TypeScript
- your stack uses GraphQL or REST with Node.js backends
- you want Meteor-style accounts functionality without Meteor
- you need customizable user validation and multiple auth strategies

## When to avoid
- you need a fully turnkey hosted auth provider with zero setup
- your project is not JavaScript/TypeScript based
- you cannot tolerate breaking changes between minor versions
- you need mature, battle-tested OAuth support out of the box
