Hi. I created this project as a more flexible self-hosted alternative to managed authentication options. It's intended to be simple, easy-to-use, easy-to-deploy, and cost-efficient. With cost-efficiency being the first motivation, as in a previous job we could have ended up paying a company tens of thousands annually (you know the company I'm talking about) had we not had the resources to build or own. AuthGuard is very modular and can be made compatible with any database or cache by adding extensions to it. There are also multiple other extension points to add extra functionality depending on your needs, you can read more about that in the documentation. It comes with multi-tenancy and identity federation with OpenID Connect providers and LDAP servers (provided by extensions) out-of-the-box, and some of the main features include: * Multiple authn/authz options: JWTs, sessions, passwordless, and one-time passwords * User management features: password reset, account locking, verification..etc * Action tokens: when you need to authorize certain actions with passwords or OTPs even if the user is logged in (useful with banking, updating account information..etc) * Applications: manage applications/clients, and issue and manage API keys AuthGuard itself is entirely API-based, it doesn't come with a management portal (although one will be provided if users thought it can help them). It also doesn't come with its own login/signup pages (perhaps in the future?). For more information about it and how to run please check the main documentation page https://authguard.github.io/, and you can report any problems you faced or request features on the project's GitHub page https://github.com/authguard/Aut.... Looking forward to getting your feedback.
