Authentik

Authentik is a tool that manages how users sign in to your applications and services. Think of it as a central security checkpoint that verifies who someone is before letting them access your systems.

It supports multiple authentication methods, from simple passwords to advanced options like security keys and fingerprints. Authentik can connect to social login providers like Google or GitHub, or it can manage its own user database. The platform uses industry-standard protocols, which means it works with thousands of applications without custom coding.

Authentik is open source, meaning anyone can review its code for security issues. You can install it using Docker or Kubernetes, making it suitable for any size organization. There are free and paid versions available, depending on your needs.
