    Thanks for mentioning Hanko. Data minimalism is one of our core values, so I’m really happy to see that appreciated.

    Thanks for listing Hanko as EU-based authentication provider. To be upfront about this, we’re still on AWS (Frankfurt), but "EU-owned" hosting/data regions will be available very s…

    For user authentication there is at least one European alternative to Clerk, and that’s Hanko (I am the founder). Granted, Hanko Cloud is still running on AWS (Frankfurt), but we’r…

    Thanks :) The js SDK is almost done, mostly the docs are still missing, so I'd say 2-3 weeks. For mobile SDKs we're currently evaluating Kotlin Multiplatform, ideally that can help…

    The solution to most of the author's criticisms lies in not forcibly mixing Passkeys and WebAuthn-based 2FA. As long as you are satisfied with passkeys being "usernameless" (i.e. d…

    Hey, founder of Hanko.io here, we run passkeys.io. That behaviour is not intended. We've recently changed the demo to require authenticator attestation on passkey creation, that ma…

    As a COSS founder I love the visibility we get for the issues we put on Algora. We've awarded $855 to 7 external contributors so far and are more than happy with the results. The f…

    Hey, quick note from the creator of passkeys.io: You can always enter your email address on the login screen and this will initiate a fallback auth flow via email passcode.

    Such an identity provider does not exist unfortunately, at least not with enough users to justify an integration for you. Of course you can always set up your own SSO provider (wit…

    Apple, Google, and Microsoft are working together closely on passkeys.

    Not quite. Passkeys are WebAuthn "discoverable credentials", meaning they contain a user identifier as well as a private key for signing. When a site fully supports passkeys, you a…

    Hey, we've built exactly what you are describing: https://www.hanko.io You can go with either self-hosted or cloud. Cloud is free for up to 100 users. If you have any questions alo…

    Hanko.io is an open source authentication and user management solution that is optimized for passkeys as the upcoming default login method. The frontend (login box for now, user pr…

    Comment #33462875

    We decided to go with email passcodes as fallback method because of the limitations we identified with magic links. The biggest issue was the inability to sign in on devices where …

    For the sake of the demo, email validation has been disabled to make the account creation as simple as possible and to allow fake email addresses to be used.

    Thank you for the feedback. We get this question a lot, and it is obviously not ideal right now. Things will get much better with passkey autofill very soon, though. See also: http…

    At some point, the platforms may open their APIs and allow for 3rd party providers to hook in and do the syncing. It can be expected that most current password managers will do tha…

    There are very few opportunities in the wild where you can use passkeys with a real account and not just a tech demo that pops up a WebAuthn modal. We've built passkeys.io to showc…

    The demo in it's current state is built with a web component using shadow dom. Unfortunately, most browsers do not support autofill in shadow dom yet. A newer version using light d…

    It really depends on your security requirements and where you're coming from or what you're comparing it to. There would be still many advantages over, say, passwords stored in a p…

    Currently, only platform authenticators are supported to create passkeys with. Support for Security Keys is in development and will be available soon. Certain combinations of Linux…
