German business password manager using a phone-based hardware key and zero-knowledge encryption, with browser extensions, shared vaults and SSO on Frankfurt data centres.
European password managers alternative based in Germany.
heylogin is a business password manager using a phone-based hardware key so teams sign in with a swipe on their smartphone instead of typing a master password. Founded in Braunschweig in 2020 as a TU Braunschweig spin-off, it targets SMBs and IT teams that need phishing-resistant shared credentials without the complexity of enterprise PAM.
The product stores encrypted credentials in a zero-knowledge architecture, with keys split between the user's phone secure enclave and the hosted vault. Browser extensions for Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Safari autofill logins on desktop, while the mobile app uses the phone's fingerprint or Face ID to approve unlocks in under a second.
Key benefits:
- Phone-as-hardware-key authentication replacing the master password entirely
- Zero-knowledge encryption with keys split between phone secure enclave and server
- Browser extensions for Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Safari with one-click autofill
- Shared team vaults with granular role-based access and audit logging
- Active Directory and SSO provisioning through SCIM and OIDC
- Phishing-resistant design that blocks credential entry on spoofed domains
- TISAX and ISO 27001-aligned operational controls for regulated customers
heylogin is headquartered in Braunschweig, Germany, and hosts all encrypted vault data in German data centres (Frankfurt) under GDPR and the BDSG. A full DPA, SCCs for sub-processors and an external security audit are available to every customer.
Ideal for German and European SMB and mid-market IT teams who want a phishing-resistant, sovereign alternative to LastPass and 1Password.
