# Hanko open source development started

March 14, 2022

We started working on the Hanko open source project and are heads-down building the authentication solution for the next generation of web and mobile app projects.

### Move to the passwordless future **–** but with today's users

When [Apple](https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2022/10092/), [Google](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xghjqgj4peA#t=9m00s), and [Microsoft](https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/azure-active-directory-identity/expansion-of-fido-standard-and-new-updates-for-microsoft/ba-p/3290633) recently presented their visions of a [passwordless future](https://fidoalliance.org/apple-google-and-microsoft-commit-to-expanded-support-for-fido-standard-to-accelerate-availability-of-passwordless-sign-ins/), the login experiences they showed in their live demos is exactly how we are building Hanko. A typical password login is still possible, but the UI is pointing users towards passwordless authentication with passkeys, powered by FIDO2 and WebAuthn. This future-proof login experience is what you get with Hanko out-of-the-box.

### Follow the progress

We are building Hanko in public, you can follow our progress on [GitHub](https://github.com/teamhanko/hanko). and let us know what you think on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/hanko_io) or in our [Slack community](/content/community/index.html). In a few weeks, we'll start posting **milestones** and a **public roadmap**.
