Hanko is a passkey-first, open-source authentication platform that serves as a modern alternative to Auth0, Clerk, and WorkOS. It provides a REST API covering passkeys (WebAuthn/FIDO2), passwords, OAuth social login, SAML SSO, multi-factor authentication, and session management. Hanko is available as a managed cloud service and as a self-hosted open-source deployment, targeting developers who want to add passwordless authentication to their applications. The platform is headquartered in Germany and emphasizes privacy-first, European-hosted infrastructure with a free tier supporting up to 10,000 monthly active users.
