Welcome to ConsentKeys! This documentation will help you integrate privacy-focused authentication into your application in minutes.

What is ConsentKeys?​

  • Privacy-First: Pseudonymous user profiles and minimal data collection
  • Developer-Friendly: Standard OAuth 2.0/OIDC protocols with comprehensive SDKs
  • Multi-Account Support: Users can manage multiple identities seamlessly

How It Works​

  1. Your app redirects users to ConsentKeys (https://pseudoidc.consentkeys.com/auth)
  2. Users authenticate with magic links (no passwords!)
  3. ConsentKeys sends an authorization code back to your app
  4. Your backend exchanges the code for access tokens
  5. You're done - users are authenticated!
Getting Started

Visit the Developer Portal to:

  • Register your application
  • Get your Client ID and Secret
  • Configure your redirect URI (where users return to your app after authentication)

Prerequisites​

Before integrating ConsentKeys, you'll need:

  1. Client ID and Secret: Register your application in the Developer Portal
  2. Redirect URI: Configure where users return after authentication (e.g., https://yourapp.com/callback)
  3. Development environment: Node.js, Python, or your preferred stack
