    Next-gen identity server replacing your Auth0, Okta, Firebase with hardened security and PassKeys, SMS, OIDC, Social Sign In, MFA, FIDO, TOTP and OTP, WebAuthn, passwordless and much more. Golang, headless, API-first. Available as a worry-free SaaS with the fairest pricing on the market! (by ory)

  • application to obtain limited access to an HTTP service

    Yet somehow all of these proprietary software companies (FusionAuth, Auth0, …) cling to the only „open protocol“ to push „portability“ of protocols. But the problem of portability is really a problem of data (you user’s data and migrating that data from system A to B), not the way you exchange or validate tokens or cookies.

    I think it’s exciting to see new open source projects like https://github.com/ory/kratos or https://github.com/supertokens/supertokens-core that finally break up this misconception!
