Hanko
Hanko is an open-source authentication and user management platform for apps, supporting passkeys, passwords, passwordless login, multi-factor authentication, and single sign-on. Developers can use Hanko Elements, customizable web components for onboarding, login, and account management, or the Flow API to build custom authentication frontends. Elements work with web stacks using HTML and JavaScript. Quickstarts and starter templates are linked for Next.js, Remix, Nuxt, Svelte, React, Vue, Solid, and Symfony. Hanko is available in Hanko Cloud, private cloud, or self-hosted on customer servers. Hanko Cloud is currently hosted only in AWS Frankfurt, Germany. The company says customers retain control of their data and can move between Cloud and self-hosted deployments. Its Trust Center lists GDPR as compliant and ISO 27001 as in progress. Cloud tiers include 10,000 free monthly active users; the pricing FAQ says limits do not block signups or logins. Starter costs nothing, while Pro costs $29 a month.
