Why it's listed

Authentik is listed in passwords & identity because it competes on utility: modern identity provider (sso/oidc/saml). It's VC-backed — we note this openly and watch the monetization path; the license and self-host route are the safeguards. Licensed MIT/enterprise; pricing: free (ce) / enterprise. Its resource footprint is reasonable for what it does, though not featherweight. This entry is provisional — the scores are seeded estimates pending our full manual rubric pass, and the verification date will appear here once complete.
