Every API ends up building its own auth, and none of them do it well. P'adentro is one self-hosted service every API on your stack delegates to, so login, sessions, and account lockout live in one place.
Token abbreviated; refresh fields omitted. MFA-enabled accounts get an extra challenge step.Full login contract →
Inconsistent security, duplicated code, audit headaches. Every team reinvents the same brittle wheel. Moving auth into one service means one place to configure lockout, rate limits, and token verification.
Self-hosted: your user data stays on infrastructure you control.
Account lockout after failed logins, per-tenant rate limiting, and short-lived, signed PASETO access tokens your API can verify locally.
One API for login, sessions, and accounts. Self-hosting needs PostgreSQL, Redis, a signing keypair, and a license key.
Authentication and account events are recorded and readable through the API. Unknown-account and incorrect-password attempts return the same invalid-credentials response.
Each tenant's API key only gets the resource-level permissions it needs, such as users:read or memberships:write.
During the private beta, an operator provisions your tenant and approves its permissions.
Registration, login, password changes, lockout, and account anonymization are handled by P'adentro.
P'adentro issues short-lived, signed access tokens your API verifies locally.
Tenants, scopes, and admin operations are managed through the API. There is no dashboard yet.
Accounts lock automatically after repeated failed logins.
Per-tenant limits keep abuse from one tenant contained.
Signed, short-lived access tokens. A stolen token works until it expires, so keep lifetimes short.
Unknown-account and incorrect-password attempts return the same invalid-credentials response.
