I have searched here as well as google, but couldn't find a clear answer. I am curious if there are any good alternative frameworks for handling authentication/authorization in the manner that Identity does for ASP.NET core.
The standard Identity Framework seems good except that I don't want to use Entity Framework and also would want to move this framework outside of my MVC project, but it seems that to accomplish this inside of Identity would be a large task.
For example, how does StackOverflow handle their authentication, (or any other large enterprise site)?

If you don't want to use default Identity, Microsoft has provided many ways to custom this. You can read in this article for using Cookie Authentication without Identity or Custom Policy-based.
So many Nuget libraries can help you to integrate with SaaS Authentication such as Auth0, AWS Cognito, etc.
