Authentication is infrastructure. We treat it that way.

Authgear is the open-source CIAM platform built for teams who can't afford to re-platform their auth stack every time a vendor gets acquired.

Why Authgear

Why we built Authgear

Auth gets built twice: first hastily by junior devs, then again by seniors under deadline pressure. You end up with brittle login flows, MFA bolted on after launch, and password storage that wouldn't survive a bad audit.

Most CIAM vendors either hand you a pile of SDKs and expect you to wire together your own flows, or get acquired and shelved two years later. Neither is a foundation you want to build on.

Authgear takes a different approach. Opinionated defaults instead of configuration sprawl. Open source and bootstrapped, so it outlives funding cycles. Auth that's designed to still be here ten years from now.

How Authgear is different

• Opinionated by default
  Safe, tested flows out of the box — passkeys, MFA, account linking, recovery. No 40-line forgot-password detours.

• Open source, no lock-in
  Self-host, migrate, or swap for any OIDC-compliant provider. Your auth isn't trapped in our cloud.

• Built to outlive funding cycles
  Profitable, bootstrapped, not chasing a valuation. You won't wake up to an acquisition notice.
