Privacy-first, GDPR-ready auth

Centralized authentication for every API you run.

Every API ends up building its own auth, and none of them do it well. P'adentro is one self-hosted service every API on your stack delegates to — private by default, GDPR-ready, running in minutes.

// your API, delegating a login
POST /authenticate → p'adentro
{ "tenant": "acme-api",
  "user": "j.doe@acme.com",
  "password": "••••••••" }
// p'adentro responds
200 OK
{ "access_token": "eyJhbGciOi...",
  "expires_in": 900 }

Every API rebuilds auth. Badly.

Inconsistent security, duplicated code, audit headaches — every team reinvents the same brittle wheel. The alternatives don't make it easier: steep learning curves, sprawling configuration, days before you send a single request.

Built for outcomes, not features

Safe

Self-hosted — your user data stays on infrastructure you control.

Secure

Account lockout after failed logins, per-tenant rate limiting, signed short-lived access tokens — no session secrets to leak or replay.

Fast to adopt

Running in minutes, not days. No sprawling setup or configuration before first use.

Auditable

Every request is traceable. Authentication failures return identical responses regardless of cause.

Scoped access control

Each tenant only gets the permissions it needs — read/write on users, read/write on memberships.

How it works

Register as a tenant

Your API registers with P'adentro once, with a scoped set of permissions.

Security & trust

Nothing hidden. Nothing left to chance.

Lockout

Accounts lock automatically after repeated failed logins.

Rate limiting

Per-tenant limits keep abuse from one tenant contained.

Token safety

Signed, short-lived access tokens — nothing to leak or replay.

No information leakage

Failed logins return identical responses regardless of what was wrong.

Who it's for

01

Indie developers and solo builders shipping an API without wanting to own auth.

02

Startups and small dev teams who need auth solved once, correctly.

03

DevOps and infrastructure teams standardizing auth across many services.

04

Agencies and outsourcing firms building software for other companies, where trust matters most.
