It supports credential-based login, social sign-on, two-factor authentication, and session management while working with common Go web frameworks. The library is open source and built with a plugin-first architecture to allow modular use.

Tools like Better Auth have pushed toward a model that is both developer-friendly and production-aware, with a strong emphasis on correctness, extensibility, and sensible defaults. But if you’re working in Go, that experience hasn’t really existed. That gap is what led to Limen.
