Atlas is a complete authentication platform you embed in your application in minutes and then stop thinking about. It covers the entire surface of identity:

  • Sign-in and sessions — email/password, magic links, passkeys, and 56 social and enterprise SSO connections, all flowing into one identity, backed by rotating, timing-safe session tokens and a signed JWKS your services can verify.

  • Multi-factor auth — TOTP, recovery codes and passkey second factors, with step-up when a sensitive path demands it.

  • Organizations and RBAC — multi-tenant organizations with roles, granular permissions and invitations, enforced at the data layer.

  • Enterprise readiness — SAML single sign-on, SCIM directory sync, custom domains, signed webhooks and a tamper-evident audit log.

Unlike hosted-only incumbents, Atlas can run on your own infrastructure against your own database, and every instance ships with the same security posture on day one — encryption at rest and tenant isolation are never an upsell.

Atlas is a complete, self-hostable authentication and identity platform. It handles sign-in, sessions, multi-factor auth, organizations, roles and enterprise SSO so you don't have to build any of it yourself.
