Ory Kratos
Overview
Ory Kratos is an API-first identity and user management system for cloud-native applications. It centralises login, registration, account recovery, verification and profile management, so your services use it instead of building those flows themselves.
What it does well
Ory Kratos handles self-service login and registration, account verification and recovery, multi-factor authentication, and profile management. Identity schemas let you define the traits each user has, and admin APIs manage the user lifecycle. You can self-host it, or use the same software as a service through Ory Network.
Why it’s in the collection
Ory Kratos is a well-architected identity server for teams that want login flows they control, with their own user interface on top. It's Apache-licensed.
