Hanko, an open source authentication server for passkeys, passwordless and passwords, so you add modern sign in to your apps without building auth yourself.
Hanko is an authentication backend that lets you add modern, passwordless sign in to your applications through a clean REST API. It implements passkeys and security keys (FIDO2 and WebAuthn), email passcodes, passwords, multi factor authentication and social login, manages user registration, sign in, credential management and account recovery, and issues signed session tokens your app verifies against a published JSON Web Key Set. Instead of building and maintaining your own identity service, you point your application at Hanko and drop its login web component into your frontend. It suits product and platform teams who want to offer passkeys and passwordless sign in, replace passwords and shared secrets with phishing resistant credentials, and keep full control of their user data by self hosting the auth server rather than depending on a hosted identity provider.
cloudimg delivers Hanko as a complete, secure by default appliance: the pinned upstream authentication server runs the moment the instance boots, backed by a self contained local PostgreSQL database, with nginx in front as a TLS ready entry point and no container registry to reach or compose file to assemble. It is secure by default: no administrator is baked into the image, the first user you register becomes your admin so there is no default login to change, the administrative API is bound to the loopback interface only as the project intends, and on the first boot of every instance a unique database password and a unique session signing key are generated and written to a root only file so no two instances ever share a secret. The server learns its own public address on every boot so cross origin and relying party settings stay correct, the database is captured empty and re provisioned per instance, the base is fully patched with unattended security upgrades enabled, and every deployment comes with a paired deploy guide and 24/7 cloudimg support.
