Cierge – passwordless authentication

Cierge means a votive candle in French.

Also using dotnet for things that suppose to run on server still makes me uncomfortable.

But I will try and I hope to change my opinion on projects like that.

I'd argue that .NET on server is the only valid scenario. ;) ASP.NET has pretty good security track record (10 CVEs in 14 years of existence with the most recent ones in 2010) and the entire stack (compiler, core libraries, ASP.NET core) are now open source.

It's not the open source stack that has that track record though

it wouldn't be the best record if it would have 10 critical CVE's since its release

When seeing the name, my first thought was "pray to authenticate" de clicked on to check this out.

It is a shortening of "Concierge", which is, in short, the person overseeing an apartment or hotel lobby.

Concierge is also a French word, so the shortening is a bit unfortunate.
