We provide a continuously updated list of authentication mechanisms found on millions of websites in the Internet. When configuring this list with a specific date, we retrieve the Tranco list that contains the 1 million most popular domains for that date. For each domain in the Tranco list, we supplement our latest data up to this date.
While Tranco provides daily lists, we need about a month to snapshot the authentications on all of the 1 million websites. In the worst case, we can only provide data to an entirely new domain that has been added to the Tranco list one month later. However, most of the Tranco domains remain stable and only move up or down in their ranking.
The data in our list provides details about the authentication mechanisms of a website. These include, inter alia, the website's login page URL(s) and support for Single Sign-On, Username / Password, WebAuthn Experimental, and Passkey Experimental authentication.
{% include "components/datacard.html" %}Not all of the data is stored in our database. Larger files like screenshots, HTTP traffic recordings, and more are stored in our MinIO S3-compatible object storage. In our database, we include references to these files that look like this:
{% include "examples/reference.json" %}We provide an API endpoint that you can use to download the files with their references.
You must configure your list before downloading or keep the default values.
If you use this list for your research, please cite our publication. Feel free to use other citation styles than BibTeX or IEEE Style. We also encourage to reference this list in your text and include the unique download link of the list in a footnote.
