TLDR Web Dev · OPINIONS & ADVICE
INSTEAD OF "AUTH", WE SHOULD SAY "PERMISSIONS" AND "LOGIN"
Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter
The common use of the term "auth" to refer to both authentication and authorization is confusing. This confusion not only makes communication harder, but also promotes the creation of bad abstractions that combine the two distinct concepts. The terms "login" for authentication and "permissions" for authorization are more clear.
