Advanced tools
Authlocal.org is an app where users can create and manage digital login passports.
You can add a "Login with Authlocal" button to your website, allowing users to login using an Authlocal passport.
✨ No emails – users can remain anonymous
🔑 No passwords – passports are cryptographic keypairs
🗿 No databases – everything is stored locally on the user's device
🗽 User-sovereign – users can directly download their passport files
🥷 Privacy-focused – no tracking, except for whatever github pages does
💖 Free and open-source – zero cost at worldwide scale
📱 Clientside – statically hosted on github pages, no api servers
🏛️ Federated – your app can get login tokens from an authlocal.org popup
📜 Protocol – permissionless integration, you can do it your way
🥧 Easy as pie – setup your app with an easy snippet
🥞 Easy as pancakes – logins are fast and painless for users
Pre-release: Authlocal is an unfinished prototype, use at your own risk.

localStorage.Choose this installation method if you're familiar with npm, package.json, typescript – stuff like that.
npm i @authlocal/authlocal
main.ts
import {Auth, components, register_to_dom} from "@authlocal/authlocal"
register_to_dom(components)
const auth = Auth.get()
auth.onChange(login => {

<auth-button src="https://authlocal.org/"></auth-button>
https://authlocal.org/ with your own urlauth.popup to trigger a login, but you should do this in reaction to a user input event, otherwise the browser will block the popup.
import {auth} from "@authlocal/authlocal"
myButton.onclick = async() => {
const login = await auth.popup("https://authlocal.org/")
if (login) console.log("logged in", login)
}
Login object, which has some useful things:
login.proof.token -- this is a Proof token and it's public, so you can send it around anywhere so your user can prove their identitylogin.keys.signClaimToken(~) -- you can use this to sign arbitrary data into a token, which is verifiably signed on behalf of the user's passportimport {Future} from "@authlocal/authlocal"
const idToken = await login.keys.signClaimToken({
expiresAt: Future.hours(24),
// you can pack any abitrary data you want into this token
data: {
username: "Rec Doamge",
avatarId: "d15aea1a",
// perhaps we want to scope this claim to a specific game session,
// so that it cannot be stolen by other users and reused in other
// game sessions.
gameSessionId: "9c22b17e",
},
})
await sendElsewhere(login.proof.token, idToken)
login object comes with a proof token that is required to verify any claim tokens.import {Proof, Claim} from "@authlocal/authlocal"
receiveElsewhere(async(proofToken, idToken) => {
// the origin of your site that triggered the authlocal popup
const allowedAudiences = ["https://example.benev.gg"]
// verifying the proof
const proof = await Proof.verify(proofToken, {allowedAudiences})
// proving the claim
const claim = await Claim.verify(proof, idToken)
// here's that data you packed into the claim
console.log(claim.data.username) // "Rec Doamge"
console.log(claim.data.avatarId) // "d15aea1a"
console.log(claim.data.gameSessionId) // "9c22b17e"
// user passport public thumbprint, the true user identifier
console.log(claim.thumbprint) // "a32e638e..."
console.log(proof.thumbprint) // "a32e638e..."
})
