Why SimpleAuth

## Rolling your own auth is a tax.  
We already paid it.

-   Weeks spent stitching JWT, refresh tokens, and CSRF protection
-   A password-reset flow that's 200 lines of glue code
-   Sessions that leak from localStorage or break on refresh
-   Admin tools you keep putting off because, ugh, later
-   Every feature ticket ends with "…and add auth"

-   `await auth.login(...)` — sessions are cookies, handled for you
-   Email verification, password reset, and MFA ready to wire
-   HTTP-only cookies by default — no token juggling
-   Ban users, list sessions, and manage keys from the dashboard
-   Ship the feature. Forget auth was ever a thing
