Summary

Ory Kratos is an API first identity and user management system for cloud native applications. It centralizes login, registration, recovery, verification, and profile management flows so your services consume them instead of reimplementing them. Table of contents What is Ory Kratos? Ory Kratos is an API first identity and user management system that follows cloud architecture best practices. It focuses on core identity workflows that almost every application needs: Self service login and registration Account verification and recovery Multi factor authentication Profile and account management Identity schemas and traits Admin APIs for lifecycle management We recommend starting with the Ory Kratos introduction docs to learn more about its architecture, feature set, and how it compares to other systems. Why Ory Kratos Ory Kratos is designed to: Remove identity logic from your application code and expose it over HTTP APIs Work well with any UI framework through browser based and native app flows Scale to large numbers of identities and devices Integrate with the rest of the Ory stack for OAuth2, OpenID Connect, and access control Fit into modern cloud native environments such as Kubernetes and managed platforms Migrating from Auth0, Okta, and similar providers If you are migrating from Auth0, Okta, or another identity provider that uses OAuth2 / OpenID Connect based login, consider using Ory Hydra + Ory Kratos together: Ory Hydra acts as the OAuth2 and OpenID Connect provider and can replace most authorization server and token issuing capabilities of your existing IdP. acts as the OAuth2 and OpenID Connect provider and can replace most authorization server and token issuing capabilities of your existing IdP.
