Is this for you?

Authentication status quo

Create a new password

OK, I got this. Probably should create a new password for this, but I'll use that same ol' one. I do feel a bit guilty, though. What? I can't? 12 character limit? OK, then …
or

Use social sign in

OK, let's use this. I hope I won't get too many ads about this specific product category. And also, I hope no one in my family starts seeing ads within this product category, and …

Authentication utopia

Use Promise

Oh, what a nice solution to a common problem. One password for everything. This is how it should be. I like it.

Key features for users

  • 👤
    Private
    Your personally identifiable information (your e-mail) is not shared with anyone. In fact, it is not even stored anywhere (except in your browser to show that you are signed in as you). That means, that even in the case of a breach, it will be impossible to identify you.
  • 👥
    Pseudonymous
    You will get a unique identity pr. service you use. This ensures that relying parties have no way to profile you across services.
  • 🔐
    Secure
    Your identities are only stored in an encrypted format. To provide account recovery keys are generated for decrypting your identities. Those keys are stored seperately from production data.
  • 😌
    Easy to use
    Promise uses concepts you already know. Nothing new to learn and understand.

The core values at Promise

Security

We care about sleep. Deeply. And the only way we can sleep at night, is by building a truly secure system robust to incidents, but with detailed procedures for incident handling.

Privacy

Decoupling authentication from personal identity makes this the solution that potentially can become universal. Promise is an authentication provider completely void from personal identity.

Non-profit

Promise has no commercial interests. No ads to show. You never have to worry if your data will be sold to highest bidder. It won't.

Open source

The source code for Promise is available for anyone to read. This ensures that both quality and security is as high as humanly possible.

By humans, for humans

Promise is made by human beings. The only interest is to serve other human beings. We're not here for profits. We only care about creating a piece of internet infrastructure that will make all of our digital lives just a little bit easier and more secure.
