A Go library providing authentication via multiple oauth2 providers (GitHub, Google, Facebook, Discord, Telegram, and more), direct credentials, and email verification. It issues JWTs stored in secure cookies with XSRF protection and includes router middleware, avatar proxying, and role-based access control.

Use cases

• add social login to a Go web app
• authenticate users with JWT cookies in Go
• support multiple oauth2 providers at once
• implement email verification login flow
• add telegram login to a backend service
• protect HTTP routes with auth middleware
• add role-based access control to a Go API

When to choose

• building a Go HTTP service that needs social login or JWT-based auth
• you want multiple oauth2 providers with minimal boilerplate
• you need built-in avatar handling, blacklists, and auth hooks

When to avoid

• your project is not written in Go
• you need a full identity provider with user management UI
• you prefer framework-bundled auth like Django or Rails built-ins
