# ⚠️ DEPRECATED

**This repository is deprecated and no longer maintained as of January 16, 2026.**

## About

[Passage by 1Password](https://1password.com/product/passage) unlocks the passwordless future with a simpler, more secure passkey authentication experience. Passage handles the complexities of the [WebAuthn API](https://blog.1password.com/what-is-webauthn/), and allows you to implement passkeys with ease.

Use [Passkey Flex](https://docs.passage.id/flex) to add passkeys to an existing authentication experience.

Use [Passkey Complete](https://docs.passage.id/complete) as a standalone passwordless auth solution.

Use [Passkey Ready](https://docs.passage.id/passkey-ready) to determine if your users are ready for passkeys.

### In passage-python

Use passage-python to implement Passkey Complete into your Python backend to authenticate requests and manage users.

## Getting Started

### Check Prerequisites



 You'll need a free Passage account and a Passkey Complete app set up in Passage Console to get started. 


 Learn more about Passage Console →



### Install

Install this package using [pip](https://pypi.org/project/passage-identity/).

```shell

pip install passage-identity

```

### Import

```python

import os

from passageidentity import Passage

```

### Initialize

Passage has three arguments that can be used for initialization: `app_id`, `api_key`, and `auth_strategy`.

- `app_id` is the Passage App ID that specifies which app should be authorized. It has no default value and must to be set upon initialization.

- `api_key` is an API key for the Passage app, which can be generated in the 'App Settings' section of the [Passage Console](https://console.passage.id). It is an optional parameter and not required for authenticating requests. It is required to get or update user information.

- **Deprecated** `auth_strategy` defines where the Passage SDK should look for the authentication token. It is set by default to `Passage.COOKIE_AUTH`, but can be changed to `Passage.HEADER_AUTH`.

```python

PASSAGE_APP_ID = os.environ.get("YOUR_PASSAGE_APP_ID")

PASSAGE_API_KEY = os.environ.get("YOUR_PASSAGE_API_KEY")

psg = Passage(PASSAGE_APP_ID, PASSAGE_API_KEY)

```
