"Introducing Hanko Authentication: A Secure Login Solution for Any Tech Stack"
Hanko is an open-source user authentication solution that takes a journey beyond passwords. This innovative technology provides enhanced security, ease of use, and reduced administrative overhead.
The primary method involves device-based credentials such as biometrics or hardware security keys. This approach offers fast and easy login experiences while reducing the risk of phishing, brute-force attacks, and identity fraud.
For MFA purposes, Hanko can be used in conjunction with a password, providing an additional layer of protection. Moreover, users can delete their passwords without compromising account security thanks to the backup email and phone verification mechanisms.
Implementation considerations include user education on access key usage and enabling additional account recovery options. Backup authentication methods, such as recovery codes, are also essential for users who cannot use their primary access key device.
