RealHandles ties your online profiles to you and provides proof you actually own them. It is signed by your key, lives wherever you want, and keeps working even if our service disappears. How it works: 1. Generate your key, created in your browser, held by you, backed up encrypted with a passphrase. 2. Verify your accounts and domain names 3. Sign your manifest - your key signs one file listing everything you have proven. 4. Share your page - A public, always-current page of your real profiles

Maker
📌
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I'm David, the maker of RealHandles.
This started with a simple frustration: the blue checkmark is broken. It gets bought, it gets revoked, and it never travels with you. It only tells you a platform vouches for an account, not that the account is actually the person.
RealHandles flips that around. You generate a key right in your browser (it never leaves your device), verify the accounts that are genuinely yours, and sign one portable proof anyone can check. Your key is the identity. Not a login, not a domain, not even us. So even if RealHandles vanished tomorrow, your proof keeps working, and nobody can sign as you.
A few things I'm proud of:
• It's free. No blockchain, no wallet, no fees.
• It's one page that outs every clone: these accounts are mine, and anything not on the list is not me.
• Anyone can verify a profile independently, even offline.
I'd love your honest feedback, especially on the trust model and anywhere it feels rough. I'll be here all day answering everything.
Thanks for taking a look 🙏

finally something that doesnt lock my identity into their servers. signed my manifest in like two minutes and the page actually feels like mine, not some branded wrapper.
Love that the signing key stays in my browser and is backed up with my own passphrase instead of sitting on their servers. The single signed manifest idea is clean too, one file tying everything together beats juggling a dozen profile links.
