Hey y'all, This is something I've been working on for a few months. It is a passkey system, similar to Apple Passkeys or a Yubikey, but it is entirely software based so you can sync credentials between devices. Passkeys (and FIDO devices in general) allow you to use public keys instead of passwords or codes to authenticate. For instance, you can just click "Approve" on the device/software instead of having to copy a code, and there are no passwords to phish. This is a new piece of tech, so website support for logins are still limited, but it can currently be used for 2FA anywhere a…

This project has been kicking around in my head since I first heard about the webauthn PRF extension in early 2024. I've slowly chipped away at it since, and finally got things to a shareable state over the summer thanks to a very fun parental leave. Headed back to work tomorrow, so I figure there's no time like the present. tldr: A client-held encryption key derived during passkey authentication encrypts all sensitive user data prior to persistence so that only the user is able to decrypt and reuse that data on their device. This allows short-lived, privacy-preserving age proofs to be…

I, like Andrej Karpathy, became super frustrated by how annoying it was to deploy projects that were previously an absolute joy to make with Claude Code. That is why I made open-passkey, an MIT licensed passkey repo with support for 33 languages and frameworks (examples included) that makes adding simple secure auth to a project easy. We are also releasing gateway (https://gateway.locke.id) a "backendless" hosted auth server that frontend apps can consume for free so that you can ship a React or Angular app using a CDN like Netlify without needing to configure a server at all. We…

Hey HN, I'm so happy to finally show you all this release after years of hard work. I posted the first version of EnvKey to HN back in 2017 (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15330757), then went through YC in W18 (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16569534). EnvKey is an end-to-end encrypted configuration and secrets manager. It protects your organization's API keys, encryption keys, credentials, and other secrets, and makes it easy to run servers, scripts, tests, and everything else with the latest config. It also helps you avoid duplication in your…

Hi HN! I built KeyPub.sh to solve the problem of user verification for CLI applications. It's essentially OAuth for the terminal, but using SSH keys that developers and users already have. - No installation needed - works with existing SSH setup - Privacy-focused: users control what email info is shared - Simple email verification process - Free public service - Perfect for CLI app developers who don't want to build user verification Try it with: `$ ssh keypub.sh about` Source code: https://github.com/skariel/keypub
