My recommendation would be to move away from pre-builts and more toward custom implementations where you have more control over structure and security.

Need some expert advice,<br />
<br />
I have a site that currently uses phpbb for authentication for the entire site (localgolfer.com). &nbsp;I would like to remove phpbb from the site and find a new authentication system.<br />
<br />
I'm trying to find a framework for user login that is the following:<br />
<br />
-Can import my current username/passwords database, and legacy users can still login via username and password<br />
-Easy to use a simple if statement to test if the user is logged in <br />
-PHP based<br />
-User stays logged in from page to page and framework handles all that<br />
-Has social login abilities for at least Facebook, but also Twitter, etc.<br />
-Easy to integrate with MySQL and I can add extra &quot;profile&quot; fields without having to deal with framework.<br />
<br />
I have seen HybridAuth and LoginRadius, but I do not think I can import usernames and have users still login with username and password.

PHP Authentication System

Web development includes all aspects of presenting content on intranets and the Internet, including delivery development, protocols, languages and standards, server software, browser clients, databases and multimedia generation.

Web Development

PHP is a widely-used server-side scripting language especially suited for web development, powering tens of millions of sites from Facebook to personal WordPress blogs. PHP is often paired with the MySQL relational database, but includes support for most other mainstream databases. By utilizing different Server APIs, PHP can work on many different web servers as a server-side scripting language.
