v1.2.0

Ory Kratos v1.2 is the most complete, scalable, and secure open-source identity server available. We are thrilled to announce its release!

This release introduces two major features: two-step registration and full PassKey with resident key support.

Passkeys provide a secure and convenient authentication method, eliminating the need for passwords while ensuring strong security. With this release, we have added support for resident keys, enabling offline authentication. Credential discovery allows users to link existing passkeys to their Ory account seamlessly.

Two-step registration improves the user experience by dividing the registration process into two steps. Users first enter their identity traits, and then choose a credential method for authentication, resulting in a streamlined process. This feature is especially useful when enabling multiple authentication strategies, as it eliminates the need to repeat identity traits for each strategy.

The 107 commits since v1.1 include several improvements:

• Webhooks now carry session information if available.
• Transient Payloads are now available across all self-service flows.
• Sign in with Twitter is now available.
• Sign in with LinkedIn now includes an additional v2 provider compatible with LinkedIn's new SSO API.
• Two-Step Registration: An improved registration experience that separates entering profile information from choosing authentication methods.
• User Credentials Meta-Information can now be included on the list endpoint.
• Social Sign-In is now resilient to double-submit issues common with Facebook and Apple mobile login.

Two-Step Registration Enabled by Default: This is now the default setting. To disable, set selfservice.flows.registration.enable_legacy_flow to true.

• Improved account linking and credential discovery during sign-up.
• The return_to parameter is now respected in OIDC API flows.
• Adjustments to database indices.
• Enhanced error messages for security violations.
• Improved SDK types.
• The verification and verification_ui hooks are now available in the login flow.
• Webhooks now contain the correct identity state in the after-verification hook chain.

We are doing this survey to find out how we can support self-hosted Ory users better. We strive to provide you with the best product and service possible and your feedback will help us understand what we're doing well and where we can improve to better meet your needs. We truly value your opinion and thank you in advance for taking the time to share your thoughts with us!

Breaking Changes

This feature enables two-step registration per default. Two-step registration is a significantly improved sign up flow and recommended when using more than one sign up methods. To disable two-step registration, set selfservice.flows.registration.enable_legacy_flow to true. This value defaults to false.

Bug Fixes

• Add login succeeded event to post registration hook (#3739) (b685fa5)

• Add missing env vars to set up guide (#3855) (da90502):

  Closes #3828

  • fix: respect return_to in OIDC API flow error case

  This fix ensures that we redirect the user to the return_to URL
  when an error occurs during the OIDC login for native flows.

  Native flows are initialized through the API, and the browser
  URL is retrieved from a 422 response after a POST to submit the
  login flow. Successful OIDC flows already returned the code to
  the return_to URL. Now, unsuccessful flows return the flow with
  the current flow ID (which might have changed), so that the caller
  can retrieve the full flow and act accordingly.

  • fix: ignore trivvy CVE report

  Bump in distroless is still open

• sdk: Expand identity in session extension (#3843) (04f0231), closes #3842

• sdk: Improve discriminators for node and Go (#3821) (9ddf7cc)

• Show error page on identity mismatch (#3790) (e6db689)

• Test assertions on declassifying OIDC tokens (#3773) (7f8a7f1)

• Tolerate more "truthy" values when creating new flows (#3841) (49d93c0), closes #3839:

  Use strconv.ParseBool to accept multiple "truthy" values for the
  refresh and return_session_token_exchange_code query parameters when
  creating a new login flow.

  For some SDKs (e.g.: Python), these stringification of booleans is not
  user-controlled and these endpoints could not be used fully due to the
  backend ignoring any value other than true (all lowercase).
