Open Apps with Pocket ID
Setting up Pocket ID for passwordless authentication across self-hosted apps
By Mark Rudolph • February 19, 2026
I've decided to take some time off of work recently, and thought it would be fun to put a spin on "how to" blog posts. In addition to writing about a particular topic, I thought it could be cool to actually deploy it somewhere and allow it to be publicly used. I've had this idea before, but I'd still like to have user authentication that I can streamline across various applications at different subdomains. There are plenty of auth solutions out there, but I recently came across one that is simple to deploy called [Pocket ID](https://pocket-id.org), which exclusively uses [passkeys](https://www.passkeys.io).
