Logto is an identity and access management platform designed for web applications, mobile applications and software-as-a-service products. It provides authentication and authorisation infrastructure that developers can integrate into their applications without building a separate identity system.
The platform follows OpenID Connect and OAuth standards, enabling applications to manage sign-in sessions, authorisation and access tokens through established protocols. It combines configurable authentication experiences with identity management tools, allowing developers to serve both individual users and business customers.
Logto is particularly useful for applications that need organisation-based access, enterprise single sign-on or different authentication policies for different groups of users. Its management console and APIs provide centralised control over identities, applications and security settings.
This is free and open source software.
