About Kinde
Kinde broadens its auth surface to passkeys while building out billing and B2B controls.
Kinde is shipping monthly feature roundups that consistently advance three fronts: authentication breadth, self-serve billing, and enterprise/B2B controls. The latest release adds passkeys (WebAuthn/FIDO2) for passwordless sign-in, the clearest capability jump in the window. Recent months also brought WhatsApp verification, IdP-initiated SAML, invite controls, and an MCP server for AI agents — a developer-focused auth platform widening on every axis.
