This repo demonstrates how to integrate Hanko with Vue application for authentication and user management. It includes an Express.js backend for JWT verification and middleware for securing pages under authentication.
Hanko is an open-source authentication and user management solution with a focus on moving the login beyond passwords while being 100% deployable today.
- Built for passkeys as introduced by Apple, Google, and Microsoft
- Fast integration with Hanko Elements web components (login box and user profile)
- API-first, small footprint, cloud-native
Before you begin, ensure you have the following:
- Node.js installed (version 20.0.0 or later)
- Hanko API URL from Hanko Cloud
Note: You'll need to create a Authentication Project on Hanko Cloud with the App URL
http://localhost:5173. See our docs to learn how to setup a auth project.
