Need some help with authentication

Hey I am attempting to make the transition from a front end developer to full stack and I wanted to know if anyone could explain authentication and authorization conceptually, ("Alot of online articles, talk about oauth, passport.js jwt etc and I want to know what the basic process is in absence of some specified technology"). I know the basics such username, passwords, salting a password then hashing it but I confused as to why so many packages and libraries are needed in a production application. Any help would be highly appreciated.
