Authentication Challenge

Summary

One of the six obstacles non-coders face when building production apps via vibe coding — dual-authentication systems (e.g., parents + students) can't be solved out-of-box by AI tools, requiring third-party dependencies that AI struggles to stitch together.

Why It's Hard

  • AI tools handle single-auth well (simple login/signup)
  • Multi-role auth (different user types with different permissions) requires complex routing
  • Phone/OTP integration needs third-party services
  • AI struggles to stitch together multiple auth dependencies
