      There are a number of services that offer user management:

      https://aws.amazon.com/cognito/
      https://auth0.com/

      You just need to provide a hook on the app/website to authenticate.

      Not sure if you can completely get away from doing any kind of database. I bet you'll need to store some kind of user state. Again, try amazon dynamodb, or their Postgresql alternative, all cloud hosted with backups.

      Now some comments:

      - Founders demanding "unhackable" implementation. Be clear, explain you'll do your best to ensure that is the case, but even large companies with 1,000s of developers and security professionals are still getting hacked. Explain there is no way you can provide a guarantee (so that later it does not become reason for dismissal or something like that). And whoever will guarantee unhackable solution is simply lying.

      - If I understand correctly, there are 2 founders (idea people), and you are the first programmer. If that is the case, you are the sole person responsible for implementation, design, support, hardware, deployment, networking.. and other stuff. And you got 6% of equity... I would question that.

      Good luck

      I am running several projects [0]. One of my latest is https://fromzerotofullstack.com , with video for developers to learn from real projects.

      For it I use htmx [1], sass [2], Django, Postgres, and Auth0 [3].
      I deploy on linode using Ansible [4].
      For the videos I use OBS [5] and some custom python scripts.
      If I need any extra 3d or animation, I use Blender[6] and Shotcut [7].

      I have tried other technologies for other projects, like React or Elm (which I find great). But so far this setup (maybe changing custom css by tailwindui mostly) is my most productive.
