privacyIDEA is a two factor authentication system which is multi-tenency- and multi-instance-capable. It is open source, written in Python and hosted at GitHub.[1] privacyIDEA is a LinOTP's fork from 2014.[2]
privacyIDEA provides an authentication backend for various kinds of applications (including SSH, VPN, as well as web applications such as ownCloud[3]). Thus it is meant to replace classical proprietary two factor authentication systems such as RSA SecurID or Vasco. It supports single sign-on via SAML.[4] It is also possible to login with a second factor to Windows desktops using a privacyIDEA Credential Provider.[5]
privacyIDEA runs on-premises as a web application on a Linux system. It can be set up quickly and easily.[6] It can run on Debian, Ubuntu and RedHat.
privacyIDEA supports a wide variety of authentication devices.[7] Amongst those are hardware tokens like Feitian C200, the Yubikey by Yubico or other U2F/WebAuthn devices. Many smartphone apps compliant with HOTP and TOTP are also supported.
