Pocket ID

Pocket-ID is an open-source OpenID Connect (OIDC) identity provider that prioritizes passwordless authentication using modern passkeys, making secure login easier for self-hosted services. By supporting passkeys instead of traditional passwords, Pocket-ID aligns with evolving web authentication standards, letting users sign in with devices, hardware keys like YubiKey, or platform-managed credentials. It’s designed to be simpler to install and use than larger identity solutions like Keycloak or Hydra and integrates smoothly with other self-hosted applications that understand OIDC protocols. With Docker-ready setup and broad community interest, the project supports a fully self-managed authentication stack where you control user identity, sessions, and login flows without relying on third-party services. It has gained popularity in the self-hosted ecosystem as a straightforward way to add single sign-on capabilities and modern security to your apps.
