Thakol.io — Public Documentation

Welcome to the public documentation repository for Thakol.io, a developer-focused authentication engine designed for modern web applications and APIs.

Thakol provides the enterprise-grade identity features of Keycloak (like MFA, WebAuthn, SSO, and JIT password migrations) but abstracts away the deployment, scaling, configuration, and complex pricing, delivering a simple subscription-free experience.

⚡ Core Philosophy

Traditional authentication SaaS platforms charge per Monthly Active User (MAU) — a model that penalizes products as they grow. Thakol bills by tokens instead: 1 token = 1 successful login or registration, so you only ever count real authentications.

During launch, Thakol is free:

• 1,000,000 tokens included with every workspace — no credit card required.
• Free top-ups: refill another 1,000,000 tokens whenever you run low.
• Transparent usage: track your token balance and consumption live in the dashboard.
