Open-source startups in Security and identity

Authentication, access management, secrets, password managers and security scanning. 37 open-source startups in this directory are filed under Security and identity. 28 pushed code in the last 30 days, 5 have been quiet for 31–120 days, 4 have not pushed in over 120 days or are archived. The category is chosen by Jev, TypeSafe’s classifier, reading only the repository’s own name, description and homepage — one category per project, so something that spans two appears under whichever the classifier judged closest.

The list

All 37, most-starred first.

The whole directory by ship status →

The last column is the most recent push to any branch, by a person or a bot — it is not a claim that anyone is maintaining the project, and a quiet repository may be a finished one. The “built for” column and the “alternative to” chips are Jev’s answers about the same repository description, published with the rest of them.
