Lucia Auth Alternative · EU-hosted

Lucia is deprecated — the alternative

Lucia is being deprecated and now lives on as a learning resource, not a maintained library. Tuurio ID is a maintained, managed identity provider with standard OIDC, MFA and passkeys — EU-hosted.

Maintained service

Not a deprecated library you have to own.

MFA & passkeys

Built in, no crypto of your own.

Hosted in Germany

GDPR-ready, EU data center.
Why switch

From a deprecated library to a maintained service

Lucia was a lightweight auth library, but the maintainer has deprecated it: the package is no longer actively developed and the project now serves as an educational resource for building auth yourself. That leaves teams maintaining session and adapter code with no upstream support.

Tuurio ID replaces that burden with a maintained, managed identity provider on standard OpenID Connect. You get enforceable MFA, passkeys and multi-tenant organizations, hosted in Germany with an Art. 28 GDPR data-processing agreement — no library to keep alive yourself.

Security built in

EU hosting
