Problem
Traditional password-based authentication systems are vulnerable to phishing, brute-force attacks, and credential stuffing, leading to security breaches and compromised user accounts. Managing passwords creates friction for users, resulting in forgotten passwords, password reuse across multiple sites, and reliance on weak passwords.
Solution
Hanko provides an open-source authentication and user management solution that enables developers to implement secure, passwordless login systems leveraging passkeys, two-factor authentication (2FA), and single sign-on (SSO). The platform offers customizable web components and APIs for integrating modern authentication flows into web and mobile applications. By utilizing passkeys and other passwordless methods, Hanko eliminates the risks associated with traditional passwords, enhances security, and improves the user experience. The solution is designed to be scalable and adaptable, allowing businesses to transition to a passwordless future while accommodating users who still rely on passwords.
Target Audience
Hanko targets developers and organizations seeking to implement secure and user-friendly authentication systems, particularly those looking to adopt passwordless authentication methods like passkeys.
