Developer launches self-held open identity system Poweur ID

Original: Hi Fediverse! I'm building Poweur ID, an open ID you hold yourself: a readable name (mine is romanman.poweur.net, or one

A developer announced Poweur ID, an open identity system that users hold themselves rather than relying on a central provider. Each ID combines a readable name, such as one hosted on a personal domain, with cryptographic keys stored on the user's own devices. The same identifier signs users in to apps via OIDC and IndieAuth, receives end-to-end encrypted messages, and supports encrypted sharing. Early reactions come from the open social web community, where interest in self-hosted identity is strong.

Why now: Renewed concern over platform lock-in and centralised login providers is driving interest in self-custodied identity tools.
