What authentik does
authentik is an identity provider offering SSO, multi-factor authentication, and flexible authentication flows configurable through a visual policy engine. It's used as a self-hosted alternative to Okta or Auth0 for organizations that want their own identity infrastructure. Its flow-based configuration lets administrators customize each step of login, such as adding extra verification for certain users.
