Current Challenges in User Access

• Long-Term Data Ownership: Using major platforms for login often means surrendering control of your data indefinitely. Users want clarity on who owns their data and how it’s stored and managed over time.
• Fragmented Digital Identities: With accounts scattered across platforms like Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, and more, managing logins becomes complex. People need a unified, secure way to access apps without losing track of their identities.
• I don’t want to be forced to share my real identity: Some users prefer to log in with minimal details, without needing to disclose personal information like email, phone number, or full name.
• What happens to my accounts when I die? Many are concerned about the future of their digital identity. They want clear control over how their accounts are managed if they’re no longer around, protecting their digital legacy.

Roadmap

Ready and Available ✅

• Multi-Provider Authentication: Log in via Google, Facebook, Apple, GitHub, MetaMask, and more.

How It Works

Eartho serves as a privacy-focused layer between users and major authentication providers like Google, Facebook, and others. When users log in using Eartho, they can still choose popular sign-in options such as Google Sign-In or Facebook Login, but with a critical difference: Big Tech companies will no longer have access to your users’ login services list.

By wrapping major sign-in services, Eartho provides the best of both worlds: the convenience of popular authentication providers and the security of true privacy for users, ensuring that no personal data leaks to third-party companies.

Why Eartho?

In today’s digital age, privacy is paramount. Most single sign-on (SSO) providers collect data from users and track their online activity. Eartho solves this problem by offering a sign-in solution that ensures users’ privacy remains intact.

Developers can integrate Eartho with a few lines of code and provide users with:

• Secure login options
• Control over what data they share and with whom
• A unified account management system with multiple login methods
• Protection from Big Tech tracking and surveillance

Eartho is built for developers who care about privacy and security, but don't want to compromise on ease of use.

How to Add Eartho Authentication

Eartho offers two primary methods for integrating secure, privacy-first authentication into your application: via the OIDC Provider or by using the Eartho SDK. Choose the option that best fits your setup and requirements.

Option 1: Using Eartho OIDC Provider

If your application already supports OpenID Connect (OIDC), integrating Eartho as an OIDC provider is a flexible, secure, and standards-compliant choice. This method is highly compatible with popular libraries and frameworks, making it easy to add Eartho to existing setups.

Integration with Popular OIDC Libraries

Using Eartho’s OIDC endpoints, you can seamlessly integrate with many popular libraries and frameworks, including:

• Auth.js - A versatile library for OAuth and OIDC providers.
• Keycloak - Open-source identity management, supporting SSO with Eartho.
• Auth0 - Universal authentication platform, configurable with Eartho as an OIDC provider.
• Passport.js - Middleware for Node.js supporting custom OIDC strategies like Eartho.
• Okta - Enterprise identity and access management platform with support for custom OIDC providers.
• Firebase Auth - Firebase's authentication service that can be configured to accept tokens from Eartho.
• Clerk - User management and authentication solution, compatible with custom OIDC providers like Eartho.
• SuperTokens - Open-source authentication library that supports integration with custom OIDC providers.
• Supabase - Open-source Firebase alternative with authentication that can be integrated with Eartho’s OIDC for added flexibility.
• StackAuth - A secure authentication solution that supports multiple providers, configurable with Eartho’s OIDC.

Configuration

1. Set the Issuer

   Configure Eartho as your OIDC provider by setting the issuer and wellKnown fields. This allows your app to retrieve Eartho’s OIDC configuration.

   issuer: "https://account.eartho.io"
   wellKnown: "https://account.eartho.io/.well-known/openid-configuration"

2. Redirect URI Setup

   Ensure your Eartho application is configured to recognize your app’s redirect URI, where Eartho will return authorization codes or tokens after authentication.

3. Benefits of OIDC Integration
   • Standardized Protocol: Provides a robust, industry-standard authentication approach.
   • Enhanced Security: Leveraging Eartho’s secure OIDC flow minimizes unauthorized access.
   • Compatibility: Integrates with other OIDC-compatible identity providers and authentication systems.

Authentication Methods Supported

Eartho supports a wide range of authentication methods, allowing users to log in using their preferred provider while ensuring their privacy is maintained. Below are the supported authentication methods that users can choose from:

Popular Authentication Providers:

• Google: Log in with your Google account for seamless access.
• Apple: Use your Apple ID for secure and private authentication.
• Facebook: Sign in through Facebook while keeping your data private from Big Tech.
• Twitter (X): Authenticate with your Twitter (X) account and remain protected.
• GitHub: Ideal for developers logging in with their GitHub accounts.

Additional Methods:

• Email: Secure login via one-time password (OTP) sent to your email.
• SMS: Authenticate using a code sent directly to your phone via SMS.
• VK: Support for VK, a popular platform in Eastern Europe and Russia.
• Reddit: Login via Reddit for users active on the platform.
• Yandex: A secure login option through Yandex.
• MetaMask: For crypto enthusiasts, log in using your MetaMask wallet.

How It Works:

Eartho wraps these providers, acting as a privacy layer, which means your login process goes through Eartho. This ensures that while the authentication provider can verify your credentials, they don't gain access to your app activity or personal information—keeping your data safe and secure.

Eartho Architecture

Eartho's system is organized into three main services, each with a unique purpose:

1. Account Service

• Users log in through existing accounts (Google, Facebook, etc.) using OAuth2.
• Eartho then acts as an OIDC provider, offering a unified, privacy-focused login across supported apps without sharing data back to these providers.

2. MyAccount Service

• Allows users to manage their data, privacy settings, and linked accounts.
• Users have control over data storage, can view login history, and adjust privacy preferences.

3. Developer Service

• For developers to register their apps and integrate Eartho as a login option.
• Provides all setup details for easy app integration.

This structure keeps each service focused: Account Service for user login, MyAccount Service for data control, and Developer Service for app integration.

How is Eartho different from other authentication services like Auth0 or Keycloak?

Eartho is designed with the user in mind, and not for developers, offering features like multiple identities, privacy-first payments, and the ability to plan your digital legacy. Unlike developer-focused tools, Eartho provides users with control over their access and personal data.

Developers add us as sign in option to their existing solution and they can can manage their users in Keycloak if they want. we are like Google/Facebook/Apple sign in

Why should I trust Eartho with my data over Big Tech like Google/Facebook/Apple ?

Big Tech may collect data as part of their larger ecosystem, but for Eartho, access and privacy are our mission. While for them it's just another piece of the puzzle, for us, it’s the focus. We’re committed to being more convenient and advanced when it comes to managing access, giving you full control over your data and logins.
