Hanko
An open-source, passkey-first authentication and identity platform from Germany.
Hanko is developed by Hanko GmbH, headquartered in Kiel, Germany. It is a developer-focused authentication platform built around passkeys and passwordless login, aimed at teams that want to modernise their sign-in flows.
Hanko offers passkey-first authentication, passcodes, OAuth social logins and embeddable UI components, available both as open-source software and as a managed EU-hosted cloud. As a German-headquartered, open-source and EU-hosted platform, Hanko is a strong European alternative to Auth0 and Clerk.
