This is that weird combination of spam, and completely misleading information.

Could you elaborate more please?

It’s a company site for an external authentication system, advising people use an external authentication system, and grossly overstating the effort involved to do it internally.

Their claims about the required knowledge to use bcrypt password hashing, one use tokens and of all things - sending fucking emails - is flat out deception.

Essentially “It’s way to complex to do X yourself, you should use a third party service. Oh hey we happen to provide X. Give us teh moneys plz”
