Hanko

License unverifiedStatus: unknown

Passkeys, SSO, and MFA without vendor lock-in

Hanko is an authentication service built passkey-first rather than passkey-eventually. Passwords are optional from the start, and the hosted components handle the awkward parts of the WebAuthn ceremony that teams usually get wrong.

It can run as a managed service or on your own infrastructure against your own Postgres, and the user table stays somewhere you can query.

Decisive facts

Passkey-first flows with password as an optional fallback
Prebuilt web components for login, registration, and profile
Social login, enterprise SSO, and TOTP second factors
Self-hostable against your own PostgreSQL instance
Admin API for user management from your own tooling

Security & Identity Backend Platforms self-hosted go passkeys webauthn authentication

Ente stores photos and videos encrypted on the client, so the server holds ciphertext it cannot read. Sync, albums, and sharing all work on top of that constraint rather than around it.
