        <h2>Overview</h2>

        <p>Portier (pronounced "Por-tee-ay") is a self-hostable login service that you can use instead of passwords. Portier sits between your website and <a href="https://github.com/portier/portier.github.io/blob/main/Design.md">third-party services</a> like Google Sign-In to provide your users the fastest and easiest login experience, without ever needing a new password.</p>

        <p>Best of all, Portier works for <em>everyone</em>, because it can fall back to traditional "click the link" methods of email confirmation.</p>

        <ul>
          <li><p><strong>Email-first</strong>: Email addresses are decentralized, self-hostable, and useful on their own, so Portier uses email addresses instead of usernames to identify users.</p></li>
          <li><p><strong>Connected</strong>: Whenever possible, Portier integrates with <a href="https://github.com/portier/portier.github.io/blob/main/Design.md">major APIs</a> like Google Sign-In to provide seamless, in-browser identity verification.</p></li>
          <li><p><strong>Decentralized</strong>: Anyone can host their own Portier Broker; there are no centralized dependencies.</p></li>
          <li><p><strong>Open and Transparent</strong>: Because Portier uses email addresses, there is never any lock-in.</p></li>
        </ul>

        <p>Portier is inspired by <a href="https://github.com/portier/portier.github.io/blob/main/OtherProjects.md">many projects</a> and considers itself a spiritual successor to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozilla_Persona">Mozilla Persona</a>.</p>
