Migration to Auth0 #522

Open maxtaylordavies opened 2 years ago

maxtaylordavies commented 2 years ago

Migrating user registration / authentication / management to Auth0 as a replacement for the custom code we currently have in place

The primary motivation for this is allowing users to register / sign in with third-party accounts e.g. google, twitter, github etc (issue #517)

But it will have additional benefits: allowing us to simplify both our backend and frontend codebases + not worry about auth-related bugs (important as we scale), making it much easier to view registered users' information and generate metrics related to user numbers etc
